Théodore Rousseau. The voice of the Forest

In spring 2024, the Petit Palais will present a major exhibition devoted to the painter Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867), who made nature his main motif, his world and his refuge. As the leader of the colony of artists who frequented the village of Barbizon and the forest of Fontainebleau, he spent long hours wandering the forest alone, sketching on the spot before producing his final works in his studio.
