Abstract
The mountain in the work of the landscape painter Antonin Panart. The first study devoted to this artist from the Franche-Comté (1831-1903), the article deals, through the theme of the mountain, with the evolution of his vision. Trained in Geneva by the romantic landscape painter Diday, he acquires the style of this school : a predilection for the large panoramas, a meticulous technique, a care of truth. Very quickly, he abandons grandiose settings for simpler landscapes, the light and the poetry of which he expresses. Twilight in the rocky plain (1860-1861), brings him fame. The painter of mountains becomes a lyric landscape painter, and comes close to the vision of the Barbizon painters and their friends. The contemporary critics compare him to Fantin-Latour, Jules Dupré, Théodore Rousseau. Fanart will keep from the mountain the sense of space, and his landscapes are often noticeable by backgrounds of particularly accurate values.
