Richet’s brushwork captures the balance of light and shadow across water, sky, and foliage, exemplifying the contemplative spirit of the Barbizon School, where artists sought to convey the poetry of nature.



Richet studied under Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and was closely associated with Narcisse Virgilio Díaz de la Peña, two of the central figures of the Barbizon movement. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1869 and was awarded medals in 1885 and 1888. Today, his works are held in collections worldwide and remain highly sought after for their atmospheric quality and painterly strength.
