Between 1800 and 1900, French landscape painting underwent a remarkable transformation from a minor genre rooted in classical traditions to a primary vehicle for artistic experimentation... This emphasis on timeless landscapes augmented with historical vignettes persisted into the first decades of the nineteenth century, when the Neoclassical landscape painter Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes worked within the Academy to establish a Prix de Rome honoring "historical landscape" painting, first awarded in 1817.
