Riverbanks, near Corbigny by Charles Francois Daubigny c.1870
Daubigny was part of the Barbizon School, a group of painters working near the Forest of Fontainebleau who were obsessed with painting real trees, real dirt, real weather. This was mid-19th century France, and painting directly from nature was still considered slightly rebellious compared to polished historical scenes. Daubigny took it a step further with a floating studio built on a small boat called Le Botin. He would drift along rivers like the Oise and paint from the water itself. It sounds peaceful, but at the time it was modern. He loosened brushwork, lightened his palette, and focused on atmosphere rather than detail. That shift directly influenced younger painters like Claude Monet, who later pushed that loose, light-filled approach into full Impressionism.

This small oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame cast in Hydrostone plaster, using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame, it offers all the beauty of an heirloom – without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).

Sized in our Small format, this piece fits perfectly on a book shelf, gallery wall, or any small space that deserves something with character and a bit of attitude. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.

Perfect gift for:

- collectors who like their scenery moody and low to the water
- lovers of Impressionism’s quieter older sibling
- a study, library, or anywhere you pretend to think profound thoughts
