Leo Deschamps, Romantic Landscape, 1871, Oil on Canvas, Framed

About This Piece

Oil on canvas signed and dated Leo Deschamps, 1871. The work shows a clear romantic component, with the representation of the dark forest, the mysterious character looking at infinity, which brings an aura of mystery and, in the background, a lake that opens to a hopeful sky with clouds tinged with soft blues and whites.

The landscape representation is very characteristic of romantic painting. Although this is a French author, his colors and soft, velvety brushstrokes resemble Dutch landscape painting of the 17th century. Dutch art already carried within itself a certain romantic component that was expressed in the intensification of the observation of nature and the emphasis on the narrative element.

We do not find the hectic fantasy and explosion of color of the French, but this painting is closer even to the mysticism of German Romanticism. In the 19th century, the cloudy skies of the past are rediscovered and reinterpreted. Generally, a serene and calm atmosphere prevails in the landscape works of Romanticism, although there are more emotionally explosive examples, which is not the case here.

As for the central figure, it could be a biblical character, because of his appearance, as he is an old man with a long white beard and classic tunic. It could be Noah after the flood, reflecting, by the presence of the calm lake, a small boat in the background and a sailing boat on the horizon, which may allude to his ark.

Overall dimensions: 76 x 86 x 6 cm / without frame: 52 x 61 cm.

The frame is a gift.
