It used a simple village of woodcutters. But the passage of Corot, Rousseau, Millet and Diaz de la Pena, it will be between 1830 and 1870, the scene of a revolution that will change the course of modern painting. They are nicknamed the "color", the "landscape". It's walk they arrived at Chailly Barbizon where the inn welcomes the spouses Ganne, became the rallying point.
All will delight. The play of light in the woods, the dark shades of woods, ponds, storm clouds, changes in the nature or the seasons of the day ... Easel back, they are leaving the workshop and leave plain, forest, "Nature at her surprise."
Today Barbizon, which was their "green capital" has retained its country charm, with its opulent stone houses covered with ivy, its rose gardens ... and remains the "village of painters," of all painters!
