About the piece
Painted in 1856 by Constant Troyon, this masterful oil painting exemplifies the Barbizon school's focus on nature and rural life. The composition balances the grounded presence of the grazing herd in the foreground with a luminist, airy sky and a sweeping vista of the river valley below.
