About the piece
Painted around 1830 by Théodore Rousseau, a leading figure of the Barbizon school, this work captures the rugged atmosphere of the Auvergne region. The central stone arch frames a rocky stream, contrasting the solid masonry with the soft, atmospheric light filtering through the mountain valley.
