Étienne Pierre
Théodore Rousseau was a French painter of the Barbizon school. Rousseau's
pictures are always grave in character, with an air of exquisite melancholy.
They are well finished when they profess to be completed pictures, but Rousseau
spent so much time developing his subjects that his absolutely completed works
are comparatively few. He left many canvases with parts of the picture realized
in detail and with the remainder somewhat vague; and also, a good number of
sketches and water-color drawings. His pen work in monochrome on paper is rare.
There are a number of good pictures by him in the Louvre, and the Wallace
collection contains one of his most important Barbizon pictures. There is also
an example in the Ionides collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum in
London. In 1848 Rousseau took up his residence in the forest village Barbizon, and
spent most of his remaining days in the vicinity. He was now able to obtain
fair sums for his pictures (but only about one-tenth of their value thirty
years after his death), and the number of his admirers increased. He would
eventually become an Officer of the Legion of Honor.
