Hillside with Rocky Outcrops is a 1850 oil by Constant Troyon, a Barbizon school work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a hillside covered in green grass and rocky outcrops. The sky above is a brilliant blue, dotted with white clouds. In the distance, trees stand tall, adding depth to the scene. Upon closer inspection, the brushstrokes appear loose and expressive, with visible texture in some areas. The colors are muted, with shades of green and brown dominating the palette. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Constant Troyon, a French artist known for his landscapes.
Constant Troyon (French pronunciation: ; August 28, 1810 – February 21, 1865) was a French painter of the Barbizon school.
