Landscape at Chailly is a 1865 oil by Frédéric Bazille, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a landscape with trees and a house. This work is interesting because it was created during a time when artists were moving away from traditional studio painting. Frédéric Bazille was one of the first artists to paint outdoors, which was a new approach. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of impasto.
