Diaz de la Peña, Narcisse Virgilio

    0.10 sec.

Diaz de la Peña, Narcisse Virgilio (1808-1876)

French landscape painter. His early works were strongly influenced by Eugène Delacroix but from the 1840s he painted landscapes in the forest of Fontainebleau with others of the Barbizon School. Sous Bois 1855 (Louvre, Paris) is typical.

Diaz was born in Bordeaux. He began painting on porcelain for the Sèvres factory. He first exhibited in the Salon 1831 and from 1840 was associated with Barbizon, painting many views of glades and ponds in the forest of Fontainebleau in dark tones with Romantic feeling.
