Dupr\u00e9 was a leading artist of the Barbizon school, a group of artists in mid-nineteenth century France who emphasized scenes of nature and rural work to break away from the stilted classicism of academic art. Here he captures the late afternoon light with broad brushstrokes and rich color; his loose and personal style rejected the academic ideal of slick, polished surfaces that still characterized official painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dupr\u00e9 was highly regarded in his lifetime; American collectors vied for his paintings, and fellow landscape painter Camille Corot (1796\u20131875) called him \u201cthe Beethoven of landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A hint of sunset glow in the distance is typical of his works. The bright, ragged clouds overhead are reflected in the reedy pond below, suggesting a unity of sky and earth. As with earlier Romantic artists, nature is a vehicle for expressing emotion. In the early 1830s Dupr\u00e9 had visited Britain where he admired the works of John Constable (1776\u20131837). The isolation of the single figure in red evokes the loneliness of rural life, especially for women of the era. A few cattle are the only other living creatures; the shifting drama of light and the changing seasons evoke the inexorable passage of time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-4420_99beb4-f5 .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-4420_99beb4-f5 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#f1f1f1;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-4420_99beb4-f5 .kt-divider{width:100%!important;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-4420_99beb4-f5\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"383\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-1024x383.png\" alt=\"Logo Gold\" class=\"wp-image-2910\" style=\"width:569px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-1024x383.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold-768x287.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2025\/01\/mcmullen-logo-gold.png 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jules Dupr\u00e9 (1811\u201389)Landscape with Woman in Red, c. 1880 Oil on canvasMcMullen Museum of Art, Boston College, 1988.399 Jeffery HoweProfessor Emeritus, Art History This bucolic scene of a small remote farmhouse depicts an age-old mode of life far from the increasing urbanization and industrialization of modern Paris.
