Description
In his orchards, Charles-François Daubigny captures the annual spectacle of spring, when the apple trees are in delicate pink blossom. He endeavoured to create as immediate an impression as possible of nature renewing itself each spring with its fleeting atmospheric effects; this is why he was one of the first artists of his time to paint “green patches” such as this one completely en plein air. In this, and in the freedom of his brushstrokes, Daubigny was a model for the following generation of Impressionists, such as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, who took up the theme with “Orchard in Bloom, Louveciennes” (1872, National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.).
The painting will be included in the second supplementary volume of Charles-François Daubigny’s catalogue raisonné by François Delestre. A photo expertise is in preparation.
