On View
Not on viewMuch influenced by Turner, Bonington, and Constable, whom he met in England, Dupré saw in nature a synchronicity between the eternal and the transitory – a theme that was later expanded by Charles Baudelaire and became the mantra of modernists. Like Constable, Dupré was interested in changing weather conditions and the shifting quality of light, but he was equally impressed by nature’s majesty and regarded trees as a mystical connection between earth and heaven.
