They wanted to “paint Nature”… They dreamed of an inexpensive inn… close to the most beautiful sites of the Fontainebleau forest, where they could work freely… They preferred… to paint the simple life of the villagers Between 1800 and 1870, they came in increasing numbers to Barbizon. They attracted their friends. There were more than 120 painters installed in a hamlet of 80 farmers! So they colonized all the small villages around the forest, they were the Barbizon painters!
