"Oil On Canvas Laminated On Panel, Chestnut Tree Attributed To Antoine Chintreuil"
Antoine Chintreuil - 1814-1873French landscape painter.
A student of Corot, he debuted at the Paris Salon in 1847.
He obtained numerous medals in France and abroad and at universal exhibitions.
He received the Legion of Honor in 1870.
Today a museum is dedicated to him and his works can be found in the largest French museums, such as the Louvre and Orsay.
According to many critics, he is perhaps the most remarkable disciple of Corot. No one better than him knew how to transcribe the master's vision, but with a completely personal touch. He painted a lot of sites around Paris, notably Igny and the Bièvre valley. We sometimes see it in Barbizon
