Peisaj la Barbizon is a 1850 unspecified by Unknown, a Barbizon school work, depicting tree, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a lone tree with twisted branches standing on a rocky slope. The tree’s leaves are a mix of green and brown, suggesting late summer or early autumn. Below, grassy patches and small bushes cover the hillside, while the sky above is pale and hazy. The brushstrokes are thick in places, especially on the tree’s trunk and foliage, giving it texture. The light seems to come from the side, casting soft shadows on the rocks. Next, look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
