The Banks of the Oise, painted by Charles-François Daubigny, one of the founding figures of the Barbizon School and a crucial forerunner of Impressionism, captures the quiet river that flowed past his home in Auvers-sur-Oise. Daubigny painted this stretch of water obsessively from a small studio-boat he had built for the purpose, developing a loose, atmospheric technique that let him capture changing light directly on the water's surface.
His practice of working outdoors, directly from the motif, in pursuit of fleeting effects of light and reflection, directly anticipated the plein-air method that Monet, Pissarro, and their circle would later push even further. Daubigny's Oise river scenes were essential viewing for the young Impressionists, several of whom counted him a mentor and friend.
Held in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, this masterwork is presented here as a premium stretched canvas reproduction, printed on museum-quality matte canvas and hand-wrapped around a solid 0.75-inch gallery wrap frame — ready to hang and built to last.
