Lazare Bruandet was a rich and endearing artist and a lover of nature. His adventurous life and his fiery character also made him a romantic artist. According to testimonies from the time, he lived in the forest of Fontainebleau, hidden in the ruins of the former Notre-Dame de Franchard priory, after having been sentenced to death for having defenestrated his concubine whom he suspected of infidelity. .
Through his Nordic training – he was a student of the German painter Rœser – he has the style of the realistic and meticulous landscape painters of Northern Europe. And by working with the painters Taunay and Swebach for the small figures, he gave his compositions a picturesque side. Furthermore, through his practice of outdoor painting in the forests surrounding Paris, with artists like Georges Michel and Jacques François Joseph Swebach-Desfontaines, he is one of the precursors of Barbizon painting.
