Jules-Louis Dupré (French, 1811-1889)
Reflections, 19th Century
Oil on canvas

Gift of Arthur I. Appleton

[Appleton Museum @AppletonMuseum]

The theme for today's @artukdotorg #OnlineArtExchange is forests & landscapes.

Here is Jules-Louis Dupré's "Reflections." Dupré carefully divided the canvas into thirds to show water, tree line and sky, conveying a large amount of terrain in a relatively compact space.

@Philbrook @cararomerophoto We have an artwork that complements your artwork. Matthew Bennett's "Primary Color." Here's a photo of the model standing in front of the completed artwork.
