Something wrong?He painted French rivers and fields with a directness that made the official Salon uneasy and gave the Impressionists a template: natural light, no theatrics, the thing itself.

, I was not able to work in the several excursions and ascensions made in the neighborhood, where it was very beautiful.
[I] preferred paintings full of daring to the nullities welcomed into every Salon.
Speak to me no more of the old masters. Not one of them can stand up to this sturdy fellow [=Courbet ].

Correct this familyAbout this person
Charles-François Daubigny was born in Paris on 15 February 1817 into a family of painters. He joined the Barbizon school, the loose circle of artists who left studios for the Forest of Fontainebleau and painted straight from the landscape. Daubigny worked in etching as well as oils and became one of the main practitioners of cliché verre, an experimental hybrid of photography and printmaking. His approach - unvarnished scenes of rivers, coasts, and farmland - put him at odds with academic taste but pointed a generation of younger painters toward what would become Impressionism. He died on 19 February 1878, four days after his sixty-first birthday.
