Landscape in the Manner of Jules Dupré (1811–1889)
Oil on panel | Circa late 19th century
Frame included | Found in France
This moody and atmospheric oil landscape, rendered with richly textured brushwork and dramatic tonal contrast, evokes the Barbizon School style closely associated with French painter Jules Dupré. Dupré was a leading figure in 19th-century naturalism, celebrated for his expressive skies, earthy palette, and emotional engagement with the French countryside.
The work features a village scene under a turbulent sky, with warm light illuminating rooftops and foliage in the foreground—a hallmark of Dupré’s romantic and brooding vision of nature. The painting is presented in a wide giltwood frame with a nameplate bearing “J. Dupré,” though no visible signature is apparent on the panel itself.
Condition: Stable craquelure, surface wear, and possible darkening from aged varnish. The reverse shows an old wooden support and signs of age. Sold as “in the manner of” Jules Dupré unless authenticated.
