Artist
Narcisse Virgile Diaz de la Peña
Narcisse Virgile Diaz de la Peña is a Barbizon school artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.
Narcisse Virgile Diaz de la Peña painted lush forest scenes and mythological figures with a loose, glowing touch. Try *The Bather*, an oil painting made after 1850, where sunlight filters through leaves and flesh glows warm against deep greens. It belongs to the same era that gave us bold color and quick brushwork in nature. Next, step into *Metsänsisusta Fontainebleausta* to walk the same sun-dappled woods Diaz loved to paint.
