Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of Valuable Paintings by Distinguished Masters of the Barbizon, Contemporaneous and American Schools: Together With Several Barye Bronzes and a Number of Autograph Letters of the Barbizon Painters and Other Celebrities AN extensive landscape is pictured, with two round-topped hills forming the skyline in the far distance. The land in the central part of the picture is dark under the shadow of a thick storm-cloud, as is the immediate foreground, while the sun shine strikes down between the shadows, illumining a meander ing river and a village on its bank toward the right. The village is a group of low buildings with picturesque roofs, largely surrounded by trees and before it the land projects in long, irregular, low, flat points out into the river. To the left a boat with figures in it appears in the stream, in the light, and in the cloud-shadow of the central foreground a group of figures are seen on a low hummock of the shore, some of them in silhouette against the light beyond them.
