About the piece

Painted circa 1835, this work by Jules Dupré is a masterful example of the Barbizon school's focus on the natural world's atmospheric presence. The composition balances deep, earthy shadows in the foreground where cattle graze against the luminous, sun-lit foliage of towering oaks and a vast, airy sky. Dupré's confident brushwork brings a sense of grounded tranquility to this pastoral scene from the Limousin region of France.
