Barbizon School emerged between the 1830s and 1870s, when a group of painters settled in French village of Barbizon. Captivated by nearby Forest of Fontainebleau, they left bustle of Paris to paint in nature. Their approach to landscape painting and attention to natural light later had a significant influence on Impressionists.
Every place has its own distinctive scenery, from city streets and countryside to coastal views. Paintings also allow us to encounter landscapes from another time. Looking at these scenes, we can imagine how people once lived and the rhythms of their everyday lives.
Whether encountered while travelling or preserved on canvas, landscapes continue to speak to us across time. At Sekiguchi Museum, we hope visitors will take their time exploring Barbizon School paintings, connecting the scenes before them with their own memories and landscapes that have stayed with them.
