Finely crafted work by the French painter, Léon Dallemagne, which depicts an undergrowth most certainly in Ain.
The artist played on the play of light and his palette of dark colors to transcribe the atmosphere of a winter day.
Léon Dallemagne is a French painter who mainly paints landscapes of Ain, Buggy and Dombes. After studying law in Paris, Léon Dallemagne returned to settle in Buggy in 1862.
In the 1870s, he moved into the family home, the Château de Machuraz in Vieu.
He led a career in the company of the painters Adolphe Appian, Francois Auguste Ravier, Jean-Baptiste Corot and Charles François Daubigny, with whom he sometimes painted, particularly in Optevoz (Isère).
