From the museum label:
Known as Le Grand Refusé due to his exclusion and consequent abstention from the annual Paris Salons of 1836-48, Théodore Rousseau is nevertheless considered to be instrumental in the establishment of the Barbizon School of French landscape painting. Rousseau's unique approach, different from fellow landscape painters Corot, Daubigny and Harpignies, took cues from the idealized world of Romantic landscape painting and applied them to the less structured aspects observed while painting out-of-doors.
Morning Effect, exhibited to much acclaim at the Salon of 1850-51, is a superb example of the liminal position of Rousseau's landscapes. The morning sun creates a dramatic silhouette of landscape and fisherman, who appears to be just leaving with his morning catch. Located at the center of the canvas between an untamed area of forest at left and a cultivated pasture with grazing sheep at right, the fisherman assimilates peacefully and naturally into the meticulously executed rural setting.
