Pierre Étienne Théodore Rousseau

Pierre Étienne Théodore Rousseau (1812-1867) was an eminent French artist, born in Paris. At 19 exhibited in the Salon. Slowly he won his way to the front as the greatest French landscape painter. In 1848 settled down in Barbizon, in the Forest of Fontainebleau, his favourite sketching ground. His pictures (e. g. "The Alley of Chestnut Trees," "Early Summer Morning") fetch immense prices now.
