The Barbizon School was a 19th-century French artistic movement that developed in the town of Barbizon, near Fontainebleau. The artists of this school were characterized by their focus on nature and the realistic representation of rural landscapes. They rejected the academic style and sought to capture the atmosphere, light, and spontaneity of nature through the use of loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors. Some of the most prominent artists of the Barbizon School include Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Théodore Rousseau, and Jean-François Millet.
