The Old Oak by Jules Dupre, ca. 1870

This is a reproducition of “The Old Oak” of about 1870 by Jules Dupre.  Dupre was about 49 when he painted this landscape which is an excellent example of the Barbizon School in that it shows a pronounced dramatic effect.  At the age of twenty Dupre had visited England where he was deeply impressed by John Constable.  In 1848 as a token of his fame and contribution, he was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor.  He died in 1889.  This masterpiece is in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C.
