EDITORS COMMENTS
Coucher de Soleil" (Setting Sun), a captivating oil on wood painting by the 19th century French artist Felix Francois Georges Philibert Ziem, depicts the enchanting scene of the sun setting over the French countryside. Painted between 1850 and 1860, this masterpiece is a testament to the Barbizon School's influence on Ziem's artistic style. The painting captures the essence of twilight, with the sun casting a warm, backlit glow over the landscape. The reflection of the setting sun on the water surface adds depth and dimension to the scene, while the vibrant yellows and oranges of the sky contrast beautifully with the cooler blues and greens of the surrounding countryside. The location of this painting is believed to be in the Fontainebleau region of Ile de France, France. The Barbizon School, a group of French landscape painters, was known for their focus on naturalism and plein air painting. Ziem's connection to this movement is evident in the realistic depiction of the trees, the textured water, and the attention to detail in the reflection of the sun on the water. This painting is a valuable addition to the art historical record, representing the scientific and artistic exploration of the natural world during the 19th century. The concept of astronomy and the solar system can be seen in the representation of the setting sun, which was a subject of great fascination during this time. Today, "Coucher de Soleil" can be found in the collections of the Petit Palais, one of the most renowned museums in Paris. The painting is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
