Panoramic Landscape near the River Moselle

Panoramic Landscape near the River Moselle was painted by Théodore Rousseau in 1830, executed in oil on canvas. Its early ownership history prior to the twentieth century is not documented in available records. The painting entered a private collection in France in the early 1900s, where it remained for several decades.

Within that family, the work passed to a collector who inherited it from his father; the family originated from central France, south of Paris. In 2002, the painting was purchased by William M. Brady & Co., Inc., a New York–based dealer, from this collector. Less than a year later, on 20 March 2003, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., acquired the painting from Brady, and it has remained in the museum's collection since.

The work is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., accessioned as 2003.2.1. It entered the Gallery in 2003 through purchase from William M. Brady & Co., Inc., New York, having been acquired by the firm in 2002 from a private collection in France that had held it since the early 1900s. The painting has not been recorded in major public exhibitions since entering the Gallery’s collection.
