Abel Orry | Questroyal

Born in Paris, Abel Orry was a French artist who painted landscapes and forest scenes in the second half of the nineteenth century. Orry studied under the French painter Célestin Nanteuil and exhibited his first painting at the Paris Salon in 1857. His work depicts the verdant gardens, sunlit rivers, and wintry fields of Paris, Capri, and the French countryside. One of his paintings of the famous Fontainbleau Forest (the center of the Barbizon School) is now in the collection of the Musée de Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France.
