OIL PAINTING: La Laitiere [The Milkmaid]
Acknowledging Dupre's mastery at portraying both animals and humans powerfully, yet gracefully, one cannot help but pay tribute to his immense talent in being able to recreate nature's light on canvas - a feat that many have attempted but few have succeeded in accomplishing. Whether it is the light filtering through a group of trees onto the figures and animals below or the warm effulgent sun bathing the lush French countryside, Dupre is always true to nature - La Laitiere [The Milkmaid], Le Berger [The Shepherd], The Harvesters, 1889.
