About the Item
An exceptional impressionist landscape by French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875). Corot was born in Paris, France and studied early on with A. Michallon then with Victor Bertin, painting landscapes in the Forest of Fountainebleau, opening a studio in Paris, and traveling during the summers to Ville d'Avray, Chailly, and Barbizon. He is best known as the great master of landscape painting in the 19th century who bridged the French neoclassical tradition with the impressionist movement of the 1870's. Historians have divided his work into periods, but the points of division are often vague, as he often completed a picture years after he began it. In his early period, he painted traditionally and "tight" - with minute exactness, clear outlines, thin brush work, and with absolute definition of objects throughout, with a monochromatic underpainting. After he reached his 50th year, his methods changed to focus on breadth of tone and an approach to poetic power conveyed with thicker application of paint; and about 20 years later, from about 1865 onward, his manner of painting became more lyrical, affected with a more impressionistic touch. In part, this evolution in expression can be seen as marking the transition from the plein-air paintings of his youth, shot through with warm, natural light, to the studio-created landscapes of his late maturity, enveloped in uniform tones of silver. In his final 10 years, he became the Père (Father) Corot of Parisian artistic circles, where he was regarded with personal affection, and acknowledged as one of the five or six greatest landscape painters the world has seen, along with Meindert Hobbema, Claude Lorrain, J.M.W. Turner, and John Constable.

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
Corot was a French landscape and portrait painter as well as a printmaker who is considered a great master of landscape painting in the 19th century. A pivotal figure in landscape painting, his vast output (over 3,000 paintings) simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism. In the spring of 1829, Corot came to Barbizon to paint in the Forest of Fontainebleau, he had first painted in the forest at Chailly in 1822. He returned to Barbizon in the autumn of 1830 and in the summer of 1831, where he made drawings and oil studies, from which he made a painting intended for the Salon of 1830. The Barbizon school of painters were part of an art movement towards Realism in art, which arose in the context of the dominant Romantic Movement of the time. The Barbizon school was active roughly from 1830 through 1870.
