Landscape by the Lez River, 1870, Jean-Fr?d?ric Bazille, French, 1841¡V1870, 54 x 79 in. (137.16 x 200.66 cm) (sight)66 1/4 x 91 1/2 x 4 in. (168.28 x 232.41 x 10.16 cm) (outer frame), Oil on canvas, France, 19th century, 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¡VPrussian War and died in combat near Orl?ans 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.
