The paysage intime ( French for "familiar landscape") was a style of painting that dealt with plain, simple landscape images and was created in the mid-19th century. It was the predecessor of the Impressionist style .
This style was a specialty of a French group of artists. Her relatives met in the small French village of Barbizon . The pictures do not convey any historical or religious content, they are rather uncomplicated extracts of nature from the artist's point of view, sometimes in a slightly romantic way. The paysage intime laid the foundation for Impressionism.
In Germany, Paul Weber and Philipp Röth representative of this style.
