1874, Charles-François Daubigny, The Fields in June -- National Gallery of Art (Washington) (special exhibition)
From the museum/exhibition label:
Salon 1874, no. 522
This expansive landscape could just as easily have been included in the Société Anonyme exhibition as it was in the Salon. Daubigny uses loose brushwork, a bright palette, and a sense of immediacy to create a vivid springtime scene. A landscapist throughout his career, he received the highest official artistic honors and served on the Salon jury in 1874. There, he tried, but without success, to make way for emerging landscapists in the official art world.
