About the piece

Created around 1850 by the influential Barbizon school painter Charles-François Daubigny, this oil on panel depicts the heights of Villerville. The composition looks through a cluster of windswept trees toward the English Channel, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the atmospheric interplay of a turbulent sky and the deep blues of the sea.
