Constant Troyon (1810–1865) was a prominent French painter of the mid-19th century, best known as a leading member of the Barbizon School.
Initially focusing on landscapes, Troyon’s career shifted dramatically after a trip to the Netherlands in 1847, where he was deeply impressed by the Dutch Old Masters, particularly Paulus Potter. This inspiration led him to become one of the most celebrated animaliers (animal painters) of his time.
Troyon’s work is highly regarded for its realistic yet sympathetic portrayal of domestic livestock, often set against atmospheric, naturalistic landscapes, influencing later artists who specialized in animal subjects.
In Troyon’s world, even silence has color, and the land itself seems to breathe.
