"Oil On Prepared Panel, Lazare Bruandet (1755-1804)"
A cartouche on the frame attributes this work to the "school" of Bruandet. Indeed this unsigned work testifies to a key moment in the evolution of the rendering of Nature. It is a milestone which, from a "composed" nature - decor and foil for the scenes that are played out there - leads to the direct and sensitive observation of Nature announcing the school of Fontainebleau and Impressionism. "Never a self-respecting painter should touch a brush if he does not have his model in front of him" Lazarz Bruandet.
