This Landscape was probably painted near Villerville in Normandy, where Charles-François Daubigny spent the final years of his life. The very informal style of this landscape is characteristic of that period and is an early foretaste of the style of Vincent Van Gogh. His contemporaries found it to be exceptionally modern. Van Gogh had great admiration for the Barbizon painters and especially for Jean-François Millet and Daubigny.
