ZUBER Henri - Undergrowth - oil on canvas by Henri Zuber

Important oil on canvas signed by Henri Zuber (1844-1909) and dated.
Zuber, a great landscape specialist, admired the breakthroughs of light in the undergrowth. He transcribed these atmospheres in many canvases produced in the region of Ferrette, located in the south of Alsace where his family owned a chalet not far from the ruins of the castle. Works depicting the forests and rocks of the neighboring villages were presented in the salons from 1873. Throughout his life, Zuber represented the wooded landscapes of Fontainebleau, Brittany and Normandy, where he stayed several times, from Bugey in particular to Artemare, and the Doubs valley and the hinterland of Cannes. Our work is dated 1887, the vision of trees and rocks with shades of green and gray, is raised by the light of the sky, and the light spots initiated by the coat grazing under the trees. Signed lower left H.Zuber and dated 1887. Beautiful wooden frame and patinated stucco.
