Watercolor Landscape of Path - Constant Troyon Favor Box

Constant Troyon (August 28, 1810 – February 21, 1865) was a French painter of the Barbizon school. In the early part of his career he painted mostly landscapes. It was only comparatively late in life that Troyon found his métier as a painter of animals, and achieved international recognition. Troyon depicted the penetration of brilliant sunlight through the tree canopy with palpitating brushwork that was rarely equalled in the mid-1840s, when this work was probably painted.
