Landscapes

1874 – 1886

Similarities and differences with Impressionism

Introduction:
Landscapes are a dominant theme that the Impressionists depicted. It is interesting to compare the landscapes of Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, Caillebotte and others with the landscapes that were made between 1874 and 1886. A period in which the Impressionists developed their painting style. What are the similarities? What are the differences?
We see that these landscapes often were made on a (specific) location and (partly) made en-plein-air. We also see that they often depict atmospherical influences like time of day, seasons and weather conditions. Both are also carateristic for the impressionist painting style. But, mostly the colours are more subdued, with brownish and greyish hues. And mostly there are more details rendered. But, this changes in the neo-impressionist style.
Here below you will find some examples, namely of Bernard, Jean-Charles Cazin, Daubigny, Diaz and Van Rysselberghe. I will render the picture alphabetical per artist and then (when possible) chronological. I will leave out paintings of which the dating is too obscure; in which figures are very dominant and of which the quality is too poor.
Note: In the future I hope to add more pictures and maybe create seperate pages for marines, cityviews and figures in a landscape.
If you double click on the first picture and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. Enjoy!
