Barbizon School

• The Barbizon school of painters were part of an art movement towards Realism in art, which arose in the context of the dominant Romantic Movement of the time.

• The Barbizon school was active roughly from 1830 through 1870. It takes its name from the village of Barbizon, France where many of the artists gathered.
