Jules Louis Dupré (French pronunciation: [ʒyl lwi dypʁe]; April 5, 1811 – October 6, 1889) was a French painter, one of the chief members of the Barbizon school of landscape painters.
From then on, he learned how to express movement in nature; and the districts around Southampton and Plymouth, with their wide, unbroken expanses of water, sky and ground, gave him good opportunities for studying the tempestuous motion of storm-clouds and the movement of foliage driven by the wind.
He showed preference for using dramatic sunset effects and stormy skies and seas as the subjects of his paintings.
Late in life he changed his style and gained appreciably in largeness of handling and arrived at greater simplicity in his colour harmonies.
Among his chief works are the Morning and Evening at the Louvre, and the early Crossing the Bridge in the Wallace Collection.
