The Marsh is a 1871 oil by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
You see a serene landscape with trees and a marsh in the painting. The artist used oil on panel to create this work, which is interesting because it's a smaller format than many landscapes. This smaller size makes the scene feel more intimate. Check out the technique of glazing to learn more about how artists like Charles François Daubigny achieved depth and color in their paintings.
