French painter Narcisse-Virgile Diaz de la Peña was a friend and admirer of fellow landscape artist Theodore Rousseau. The mighty Auguste Renoir reportedly once named Diaz as his artistic hero. This sumptuous pastoral scene of French woodlands employs the fluid style and careful detail of the plein-air (open air) painters of the Barbizon School.
