Théodore Rousseau (1812–1867) was one of the leading figures of French landscape in the mid-19th century. A restless and obsessive artist with a keen eye and a passionate love of nature, he dramatically expanded the vocabulary of landscape expression a generation before the emergence of Impressionism, matching the natural diversity of his native country with an extraordinary range of style and technique.



Bringing together more than seventy paintings and drawings, this major international loan exhibition explores the tremendous variety of Rousseau’s work, revealing him to be one of the most exciting, experimental, and unruly artists of his day.



The exhibition has been co-organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles and the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen.
