To enjoy nature . . .

Charles-François Daubigny (Paris, February 15, 1817 – February 19, 1878 in Paris), French landscape painter of the Barbizon school. One of the earliest advocates of painting directly from nature, Daubigny is considered the link between mid-19th-century naturalism and Impressionism. He so loved nature that in 1857 he turned the boat 'Le Botin' in Auvers-sur-Oise into a floating studio and traveled along the rivers Seine and Oise to paint.
