Barbizon school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (240 words) |
 | The Barbizon school (circa 1830–1870) of painters is named after the village of Barbizon near Fontainebleau Forest, France, where the artists gathered. |
| The Barbizon painters were part of a movement towards realism in art in reaction to the more formalized romantic movement of the time. |
| The leaders of the Barbizon school were Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Théodore Rousseau, Jean-François Millet and Charles-Francois Daubigny; other members included Jules Dupré, Narcisse Virgilio Diaz, Henri Harpignies, Félix Ziem and Alexandre DeFaux. |
