"En forêt de Fontainebleau" 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. The Barbizon school was active from about 1830 through to the 1870s and included artists who moved away from the formal traditions of the French Academy, focusing instead on painting nature directly from life, often in the Forest of Fontainebleau.

Diaz de la Peña, of Spanish descent but French by birth, was known for his richly colored landscapes and forest scenes, which often included mythological or orientalist figures. "En forêt de Fontainebleau" reflects the artist's fascination with the natural scenery of the forest, which was a recurring subject in his work. The painting likely dates from the mid-19th century, a period when Diaz de la Peña, along with other Barbizon painters like Théodore Rousseau and Jean-François Millet, frequently visited and worked in the Fontainebleau area.

The painting captures the dense, lush greenery of the forest, with an emphasis on the play of light and shadow, a characteristic feature of Diaz de la Peña's forest scenes. His use of vibrant colors and bold brushwork contribute to the sense of vitality and the almost mystical quality of the natural landscape. The Forest of Fontainebleau was a source of inspiration for many artists of the time due to its varied terrain and ancient trees, and it became synonymous with the Barbizon school's approach to plein air painting.

"En forêt de Fontainebleau" is significant as an example of Diaz de la Peña's contribution to the development of landscape painting in the 19th century, and it exemplifies the Barbizon school's impact on the subsequent Impressionist movement. The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that showcase 19th-century French art.

As with many works of its time, "En forêt de Fontainebleau" may not have a singular, definitive version, as artists often painted multiple canvases with similar themes. The specific dimensions, current location, and provenance of the painting would provide further context but are not included in this general introduction.
