The Barbizon School was an art movement that developed in France during the mid-19th century, named after the village of Barbizon where many of its artists lived. Main figures in the movement included Jean-François Millet, Théodore Rousseau, and Charles-François Daubigny. The Barbizon School focused on painting natural landscapes and scenes from the countryside in a realistic way, capturing the simplicity and beauty of everyday life in the countryside. The artists aimed to show the natural world with honesty and detail, moving away from the historical and mythological themes that were popular at that time. Their work influenced the development of later movements like Impressionism by emphasizing observation of nature and the effects of light.
