Description

The French academic painters of the nineteenth century understood something the Impressionists would later codify in color: that the sky is never background. It is the subject. In the great cloudscape tradition running from Constable through the Barbizon painters to the élèves of the École des Beaux-Arts, the cloud was a problem of philosophy as much as technique, transient, ungovernable, and yet endlessly observed.

A Note from Jeff

The sky has been the subject of serious artistic attention in France since at least the Barbizon period, when the painters who worked the forests of Fontainebleau looked up and understood that the atmosphere above the landscape was as much the subject as the land itself. On a placemat at dining table scale, the cloudscape does something different: it brings the quality of an observed sky into the room, at the scale of a place setting, where it can be seen properly.
