About the piece
Created by Émile Barau around 1850, 'L'été en Champagne' is a quintessential example of mid-19th century French landscape painting. The work beautifully captures the atmosphere of the harvest season, using a warm palette of golds and greens to depict a sun-drenched field and a solitary figure walking toward a distant village spire.
