Landscape in the Dauphinoise

Ca. 1864. Oil on canvas.
Not on display

The beauty of its high peaks attracted numerous landscape painters to the French region of the Dauphinoise. Among them was Haes, who was captivated by this landscape near Provence and the French Alps. In this panoramic view, typical of his early output, he maintains his use of earthy tones and strongly modelled volumes defined by contrasts of light. The canvas was executed in his studio from a preliminary oil sketch painted outdoors before the subject.
