Sobre el cuadro
Paisaje junto al río Lez (en francés: Paysage au bord du Lez) es una pintura de paisaje al óleo sobre lienzo del artista preimpresionista francés del siglo XIX Frédéric Bazille, de 1870. Se exhibe en la colección del Instituto de Artes de Mineápolis.
En palabras del museo
In June 1870, Bazille informed his father “I have just about finished a large landscape (eclogue).” Two weeks later he enlisted in the French army to serve during the Franco–Prussian War and died in combat near Orléans in November. Landscape by the River Lez is the “large landscape” mentioned in Bazille’s correspondence, and his specific reference to it as an “eclogue” has prompted speculation as to his intent. Bazille would have known that an eclogue was an idyllic poem in the form of a conversation between rustics in an Arcadian landscape. In its radiance and quiescence, this composition, although lacking figures, certainly conforms to the tradition of bucolic landscapes.
