A Farmhouse is a 1864 by Charles Jacque, a Impressionism work, depicting Farmhouse, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a simple stone farmhouse in a French countryside. The roof has loose shingles. A low fence runs along the front. A few chickens scratch the dirt near the door. The walls look worn but sturdy. Jacque painted this in 1864, when France was changing fast. Big cities grew, but life in the country stayed mostly the same. This farmhouse feels like a quiet snapshot of that time. Check out another Jacque work, like his sheep paintings, if you like this one.
Charles-Émile Jacque (23 May 1813 – 7 May 1894) was a French painter of Pastoralism and engraver who was, with Jean-François Millet, part of the Barbizon School. He first learned to engrave maps when he spent seven years in the French Army.
