A French school of the
middle of the 19th century centering in the village of Barbizon near
the forest of Fontainebleau. Its members went straight to nature in
disregard of academic tradition, treating their subjects faithfully
and with poetic feeling for color, light, and atmosphere. It is
exemplified, esp. in landscapes, by Corot, Rousseau, Daubigny, Jules
Dupré, and Diaz. Associated with them are certain painters of
animals, as Troyon and Jaque, and of peasant life, as Millet and Jules
Breton.
