Théodore Rousseau

La Plaine de la Plante à Biau

1854

Created using the innovative cliché-verre technique, where drawings on glass plates were photographically printed onto paper, capturing the atmospheric effects of light across the landscape. As a leading member of the Barbizon School, Rousseau pioneered this hybrid medium that combined drawing with photographic processes.
