Source Description
In addition to his landscapes, Bléry also produced closely focused botanical studies gracefully composed with an acute realization of species. Although he did not work alongside the artists of the Barbizon school, Bléry’s plant portraits are related to the aesthetic of Barbizon naturalism.
