Les Marais 1880s is an original drawing in etching technique on paper, realized and by Maillart, a French engraver and sculptor after Theodore Rousseau (1812-1867). Les Marais, as it is reported on the lower center margin, this is an original drawing representing a landscape. In excellent conditions: as good as new. Image container: 35 x 32 cm Theodore Rousseau (1812-1867): Painter (Paris 1812 - Barbizon 1867). Basically self-taught, even if J. Constable's example must have deeply impressed him, from the beginning he set about painting directly in front of nature, with lyrical enthusiasm and great moral commitment. Rejecting one of his paintings at the Salon of 1836 (The descent of the cows from the Jura plateaus, 1835, The Hague, Mesdag Museum), he retired to Barbizon, near Fontainebleau, where a colony of artists gathered with him who were to form the major French romantic school of landscape, called Barbizon. R. is considered the leader for the seriousness and consistency of the assumptions and for the height of the implementations. After 1848, when the opportunity to exhibit at the Salon reopened, it quickly established itself and was a resounding success at the Universal Exhibition of 1855. He especially loved portraying large trees, in mass, in flat and marshy soils from distant horizons, using a heavy color , dense and fiery, worked by brush (Avenue of the chestnut trees near Bressuire, 1837-40; Effect of rain, both in the Louvre; The footbridge, around 1855; Road in the forest of Fontainebleau; effect of hurricane, 1860-65, both in Paris , Musée d'Orsay).
