Though Impressionism continues to be quite popular (the outdoor landscapes), its antithesis, allegorical/historical landscapes painted by classically inclined artists are seldom seen. Here is one such painter~
Jean-Achille Benouville (1815-1891)
1837 - tied for 2nd place, with Félix-Hippolyte Lanoüe, for the Prix de Rome de Paysage historique (historical landscape) subject: Apollon, gardant les troupeaux chez Admèle, invente la lyre
1841 - failed to place in the Prix de Rome de Paysage historique, subject: Adam et Eve chassés du paradis terrestre, 1st prize went to Félix-Hippolyte Lanoüe
