View in the Île-de-France (oil painting (visual work); Jean-Victor Bertin (French, 1767 - 1842) (French Artist); about 1810 - 1813; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 2008.2)

Note: The painting depicts the corner of a village near Paris, possibly on the Yvette River. Bertin was clearly drawn to the site for its compositional appeal, the cluster of buildings forming a classically tight, geometrical center, with graceful arches of the bridge, reflected in the water, leading off to the left. Several densely foliated trees, a sharply rising hill in the background, and a brilliant cerulean sky with sparse clouds complete the image. The artist's transcription of the most delicate light effects, as the sun picks out various planes of the buildings and the rhythmic openings beneath the bridge, is the central drama of the painting. Minutely observed moments - the light shaft across the wall at the right, the gleaming thread of light running along the top edge of the bridge, the miniscule shadows cast by the nubs of iron reinforcements in the wall of the building at the center - testify to Bertin's mastery of plein-air painting.
