House of Mère Bazot is a 1874 oil by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a small house with a thatched roof and trees surrounding it. It's a quiet scene, with no people in sight. The artist used simple colors to create a sense of calm, which makes the painting feel peaceful. The house looks old and worn, which suggests it's been there for a long time. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of impasto.
Charles-François Daubigny ( DOH-bin-yee, US: DOH-been-YEE, doh-BEEN-yee, French: ; 15 February 1817 – 19 February 1878) was a French painter, one of the members of the Barbizon school, and is considered an important precursor of impressionism.
