Paul Trouillebert
Paul Désiré Trouillebert (1829–1900) was a French landscape painter associated with the Barbizon school, though he also painted portraits and nudes. Born in Paris, Trouillebert studied under Ernest Hébert and Charles Jalabert, and he exhibited at the Salon for many years. His work is known for its quiet, intimate depictions of the French countryside, with a focus on trees, rivers, and meadows, often rendered in a soft, naturalistic style. While associated with the Barbizon school, Trouillebert’s works are noted for their delicate light effects and atmospheric qualities, positioning him as a transitional figure between Realism and Impressionism.
Trouillebert’s landscapes, though quieter than those of some of his contemporaries, have gained appreciation for their subtle beauty and careful observation of nature. His works are now held in several French museums, including the Musée d'Orsay, as well as private collections.
