Under the cross influence of several factors, whether philosophical (Rousseau) literary or artistic (Dutch painting of the 17th century), this enthusiasm manifests itself in the annual Salons as in commerce and allows artists a greater freedom, far from the political concerns that they sometimes allusively integrate.
Totally departing from the aristocratic landscape, the revolutionary landscape anticipates the future of the genre in the 19th century and satisfies a very large clientele wishing to find Nature in its interiors. From the picturesque to the invitation to the distant journey, the landscape plays on a wide range of emotions that the exhibition will reveal.
