Over a hundred years ago, they abandoned the bustling clamor of Paris and entered the forest of Fontainebleau. Here they could take nature as their teacher and have quiet dialogues with themselves. Even if they were so impoverished that they only had colored pencils, they would still faithfully paint pictures of that simple and pure scenery, those laboring peasants and the feelings in their hearts.
They constantly bowed their heads in gratitude, thanking heaven and earth for all the poems they had written for them.
While walking in the fields,
I thought of a poem;
a poem that nature sings, a poem that life sings¡K
Barbizon in Fontainebleau Forest is a village that is near to Paris in space, and at the same time is very distant.
The painters could have an intimate dialogue with the land and with themselves.
They used their passionate and emotional eyes and spirits,
so they and the subjects of their paintings looked ordinary but lived intensely ¡V with a great love for life.
