SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture
Charles Francois Daubigny (1817-1878) was one of the French painters of Barbizon Group, (with Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Théodore Rousseau, and Jean-François Millet) many of whom heralded the Impressionism. He, with other artists of the Barbizon group practiced plein-air painting in the regions in and around the Fontainebleau Forest of France.
Initially, Daubigny painted in a traditional style, but this changed after 1843, when he settled in Barbizon to work outside in nature. Daubigny 's paintings have lively brushstrokes with emphasis on natural. In search of natural scenery, he toured different French regions. He created an own boat house as a floating studio. Daubigny 's best paintings were produced between 1857 and 1870. His landscape work largely consists of natural scenes, serene and brilliant depiction of skies. His Impressionistic arts works, were done on the spot (sur le motif).
