EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Barbizon, France: A Haven for Artists and Literary Greats - The Bas-Breau Hotel and Former Homes of Gassies and Jacque" 2. Description: This photograph, dated circa 1910s, transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Barbizon in the Seine-et-Marne department of north-central France. Known for its rich artistic heritage, Barbizon has long been a source of inspiration for painters and writers alike. In the foreground of this image, we find the historic Bas-Breau Hotel, which once served as a hostelry for travelers and artists, including the renowned Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. It was here that Stevenson penned his famous novel, "Treasure Island," in 1883. To the left of the hotel, two quaint cottages can be seen. These were once the homes of French painters Jean Baptiste Georges Gassies (1829-1919) and Charles-Emile Jacque (1813-1894). Gassies was a prominent Barbizon School painter, while Jacque was a celebrated caricaturist and lithographer. The photograph captures the essence of Barbizon, with its charming houses, tree-lined streets, and the nearby Fontainebleau Forest providing a stunning backdrop. The Grande Rue, the main street of Barbizon, is visible in the background, inviting us to explore the village's artistic past and the many stories it holds. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of Barbizon but also a reminder of the enduring connection between art, literature, and the natural beauty of the French countryside.
