"A Wooded Landscape with a Woman Gathering Wood" is a painting by the French artist Narcisse-Virgile Diaz de la Peña (1807–1876), who was a prominent figure in the Barbizon school of painters. This school was known for its pivotal role in the development of landscape painting, with artists often working directly from nature in the Forest of Fontainebleau. Diaz de la Peña, of Spanish descent, was celebrated for his richly colored landscapes and scenes that often included figures from mythology and orientalist subjects.

The painting in question depicts a serene, natural scene where a woman is engaged in the humble and timeless activity of gathering wood. It is characteristic of Diaz de la Peña's work, with its emphasis on the play of light and shadow, the textural quality of the forest setting, and the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. The artist's use of vibrant colors and his loose, expressive brushwork contribute to the overall impressionistic effect of the piece, although he is not typically classified as an Impressionist.

This work reflects Diaz de la Peña's fascination with the forest, a subject that he returned to frequently in his oeuvre. The presence of the figure in the landscape adds a narrative element to the work, inviting viewers to contemplate the simplicity and beauty of rural life. The painting is a fine example of the Barbizon school's impact on the evolution of landscape painting, bridging the gap between Romanticism and Impressionism.

As a member of the Barbizon school, Diaz de la Peña influenced and was influenced by his contemporaries, including Théodore Rousseau and Jean-François Millet, both of whom shared his interest in naturalistic and pastoral themes. "A Wooded Landscape with a Woman Gathering Wood" not only showcases Diaz de la Peña's individual talent but also embodies the collective ethos of the Barbizon school, which sought to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere in the natural world.

The painting is part of a larger body of work that helped to lay the groundwork for the Impressionist movement, which would take these ideas even further in the late 19th century. Today, Diaz de la Peña's work is held in numerous public collections, and "A Wooded Landscape with a Woman Gathering Wood" continues to be appreciated for its historical significance and its aesthetic qualities.
