Mountain Stream in the Auvergne

Französische Malerei 1830–1850, 1830

This painting shows a rocky green ravine with a gray stream running through it, surrounded by thick foliage and large boulders. An arched stone bridge crosses over the stream in the center of the painting. Small wooden buildings stand on either side of the wide bridge, resting against the sides of the ravine. The background consists of steep, forested hills rising up on either side of the painting, with a small gap between them in the top showing blue sky with a few puffy, white clouds.
