Jules Dupré (1811-1889) was a French painter. He was one of the leading figures of the Barbizon school, a group of landscape painters among whom fellow landscape painters such as Théodore Rousseau and Constant Troyon.
Dupré studied under Jean-Michel Diébolt, who encouraged his interest in painting en plein air with a particular focus on depicting changing weather and light conditions.
He exhibited for the first time at the Salon in 1831, and three years later was awarded a second-class medal. In the same year he came to England, where he was impressed by the genius of Constable. From then on he learned how to express movement in nature.
Dupré's colour is sonorous and resonant. He showed preference for using dramatic sunset effects and stormy skies and seas as the subjects of his paintings.
