Description
In “Promeneur assis auprès d’un saule,” the young Monet concentrates his gaze upon a willow tree. With acute attention to contour and texture, he employs a subtle chiaroscuro to create a striking tension between the dark forms of the tree and the ivory page. Here, the artist engages with tradition—evoking the picturesque horticultural specimens favored by Dutch landscape painters of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and resonating with the spirit of the Barbizon School.
