About the piece
Created in 1859 by Paul Huet, this oil study captures the rugged, primeval beauty of the Forest of Fontainebleau. The composition focuses on the heavy forms of the 'Rocks of Calvary,' rendered with thick, expressive brushwork and a rich palette of deep earth tones and forest greens typical of the period's naturalist movement.
