This is an exceptional fine quality original 19th Century French Barbizon School Oil on Canvas Landscape Painting depicting an expansive rural river setting with a lone figure standing before a large woodland whilst observing a nearby small group of paddling Swans.

This incredible painting is both dated (1862) and signed with wear around the signature which makes it difficult to read.

The distinct brushwork and layout of the work confirms this painting is attributable to Paul Désiré Trouillebert (1829-1900).

Trouillebert is attached to the Barbizon school because of his predilection for the landscape motif as well as for his style. He trained with the renowned portraitist Ernest Hébert (1817-1908) and in the studio of Charles-François Jalabert (1819-1901). Trouillebert was first noticed for his portraits and nudes: the portrait of Mademoiselle A. allowed him to be accepted at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1865, where he exhibited until 1884.

Trouillebert... traveled extensively in France, notably in Brittany, the Loire and on the banks of the Seine. He was part of the movement of traditionalist plein air painters, as he stated in an interview with a journalist from L''Echo de Paris in 1890: ''I only work from nature, I do not admit the study copied in the studio. ''

The painting is well presented in a moulded gallery frame and is offered in very good order commensurate with age having fine faint craquelure within the white clouds.

BIOGRAPHY

Paul Desire Trouillebert ( 29. April 1831 Paris - 28. June 1900 Paris )

He attended the École des Beaux-arts, where he studied under Antoine Auguste Ernest Hébert and Charles Jalabert.

The young artist developed a passion for portraits and nude figure studies. He debuted at the Salon in Paris in 1865 with Portrait of Mademoiselle A.

Shortly thereafter, Trouillebert received a near-continuous flow of portrait commissions from important clients. He was also renowned for completing a remarkable set of historical works that depicted the building of the railways around Paris in the 1880s.

By the 1870s, Trouillebert, like many of his contemporaries, was inspired by the works of the Barbizon school. His oeuvre broadened to encompass the pastoral, riparian landscapes near and around Paris.

Trouillebert depicted figures embedded in the surrounding landscape, sunsets over fields, and riverbanks bathed in the atmospheric morning light.

He utilised a subtle, muted palette and often worked en Plein air and on the panel. Trouillebert drew inspiration from scenes of rural life as well as the rich folk traditions of small French towns.

Although Trouillebert was amply inspired by Corot’s themes, he added his distinctive atmosphere to each painting, especially in his scenes of fishermen on the riverbanks of France.

His works are on display at the Musée des Beaux-arts, Reims
