Prima edizione
Condizione: Near fine. Lovely limited edition of this attractive collection of etchings from some of the leading lights of the Barbizon school of realist painters. The Barbizon school style sprang up in contrast to the popular Romantic Movement of the early to mid-19th century. Painters that favored realism flocked to the small town of Barbizon, France, to paint pastoral landscapes and scenes of rural people engaged in agrarian pursuits. LE PAYSAGISTE AUX CHAMPS collects pieces from and information about some of the best-known members of the Barbizon school, including Charles-François Daubigny and Frédéric Henriet. A beautiful copy. 10.5'' x 6.75''. Original blue pictorial cloth binding. Gilt edges. Brown endpapers. Pictorial title page and engraved frontispiece, with 22 etchings. Text in French. viii, 244 pages, including index and one page of errata. Binding with a bit of bumping to spine ends and corners, a hint of edgewear; tiny spot of soil to spine. Plates mildly toned. Remarkably bright and clean.
