"The Forest at Fontainebleau: Morning" (French: "Lisière de forêt; effet de matin") is a notable landscape painting by the French artist Théodore Rousseau, created between 1849 and 1851. As a leading figure of the Barbizon school, Rousseau was instrumental in the development of landscape painting in France, and this work is a prime example of his dedication to capturing the natural environment.

The painting depicts a scene from the Forest of Fontainebleau, a location that became a significant source of inspiration for Rousseau and his contemporaries. The forest, situated southeast of Paris, was renowned for its ancient trees, varied landscapes, and natural beauty, which attracted artists seeking to escape the urban environment and study nature directly.

In "The Forest at Fontainebleau: Morning," Rousseau presents a view of the forest's edge at dawn, capturing the interplay of light and shadow as the early morning sun filters through the dense foliage. The composition is characterized by its attention to detail and the artist's commitment to realism, which was a departure from the idealized landscapes of previous generations. Rousseau's technique reflects a meticulous observation of nature, with a rich palette and textured brushwork that conveys the lushness and tranquility of the forest setting.

This painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it exemplifies the Barbizon school's influence on the development of plein air painting and prefigures the Impressionist movement. Rousseau's work, including "The Forest at Fontainebleau: Morning," played a crucial role in shifting the focus of landscape painting from classical and romantic interpretations to a more direct and personal engagement with the natural world.

"The Forest at Fontainebleau: Morning" is held in high regard for its contribution to the evolution of landscape painting and is considered one of Rousseau's masterpieces. It is frequently studied for its pioneering approach to naturalism and its impact on subsequent generations of artists. The painting is part of the collection of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, where it continues to be admired for its beauty and historical significance.
