J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM PRESENTS-“Unruly Nature: The Landscapes of Théodore Rousseau”

LOS ANGELES – Unruly Nature: The Landscapes of Théodore Rousseau presents a rich selection of paintings and drawings by one of the giants of nineteenth-century French art. Théodore Rousseau (1812–1867) achieved international fame as a leader of the so-called “Barbizon School,” named after the village near the Forest of Fontainebleau where he spent much of his career. The exhibition, co-organized with the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, will be on view June 21 through September 11, 2016, at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center. It will subsequently travel to Copenhagen, where it will run from October 13, 2016, through January 8, 2017.
