The picture is painted with the quiet, exact observation of the Lyon school — every plane of the landscape given its own tone, the light diffused and cool. Théodore Lévigne (1848–1912), born in Noirétable and trained at the Lyon École des Beaux-Arts and briefly under Cabanel and Gérôme in Paris, was one of the most versatile Lyonnais painters of his generation: landscapes, hunting scenes, portraits and military subjects. His landscapes of the Loire hills, the Dauphiné and the Bugey, often in muted half-tones like these, are his most personal work. Signed ‘Théodore Lévigne’ at the lower right.
