About the book >.>.> An Eye on Nature II: The Gallic Prospect, French Landscape Painting 1785-1900, curated by Matthiesen Fine Art, presents a comprehensive exploration of French landscape painting from the late 18th century to the turn of the 20th century. Building on a previous exhibition, An Eye on Nature: Spanish Still Life Painting from Sanchez Cotan to Goya, this collection shifts focus to the broader vistas of landscapes, townscapes, shorelines, and verdant countrysides, moving away from the intimate details of still-life compositions.The exhibition aims to convey the ?naturalness? of nature through an extensive selection of works, while acknowledging the limitations posed by commercial considerations. The challenges faced in sourcing high-quality pieces reflect the difficulty of representing the great Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters, given the market's constraints. Nevertheless, the exhibition showcases significant works from renowned artists alongside exceptional pieces from lesser-known names, facilitating a diverse yet curated view of the era.The definition of landscape within this context is broadened beyond traditional boundaries, encompassing town scenes, coastal imagery, and works featuring substantial figurative elements. This approach seeks to deepen understanding of the development of plein air sketches and how they evolved into finished works, highlighting their transformation into a unified vision of the natural world by the century's end. Complementing the main text, a ?Photo-Essay? serves to illustrate trends and developments through images of skies, vegetation, water, and buildings, effectively showcasing the evolving styles within the period from 1785 to 1900.
