About the piece
Painted around 1855, this evocative landscape by French artist Félix Ziem demonstrates a masterful play of light and shadow. The deep silhouetted forms of the trees on the left anchor the composition, creating a striking contrast against the pale, scumbled clouds and the still water of the marsh, reflecting the influence of the Barbizon school.
