Sur Le Motif - Peindre En Plein Air En Europe 1780-1870 - Illustrations, Couleur

This book offers a beautiful panorama of plein air painting over a little less than a century, reviewing the experiments and evolution of painters facing nature. Leaving the studios to confront nature, wild, free, and luminous was a slow evolution. It was slow but fruitful because leaving the studio will lead to the realization of the most beautiful masterpieces of painting, with later, the advent of impressionist painters.

With more than 100 works represented, this book offers a beautiful study of what could be the painting outdoors from 1780 to 1870.
