Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
Landscape #3

1850

About the Item

Landscape is a beautiful original etching realized by Camille Corot in the middle of XIX Century. Perfect conditions, platemark is present. It represents a natural landscape with some trees and small buildings realized by the artist during one of his stands in Italy; these influential years saw him painting the city of Rome and its countryside, as well as Naples and Ischia. It was a happy time for Corot, during which he declared to a friend, "All I really want to do in life ... is to paint landscapes. This firm resolve will stop me from any serious attachments. That is to say, I shall not get married." Camille Corot (Paris, 1796 - Paris 1875) was an influential 19th century French painter who is best known for his landscape paintings. His artistic style inspired many Impressionists. From 1825 to 1828, Corot lived in Italy and honed his artistic skills. In the 1850s, Corot began to paint in a softer style, using a restricted palette of colors. Collectors and dealers were scrambling to buy his work as the 1850s progressed. Corot was in close contact with and influenced by painters of the realistic Barbizon school, such as Jean-François Millet, Théodore Rousseau and Charles-François Daubigny. Corot's landscapes and plein air sketches also served to inspire Impressionist painters. Devoted to painting, Corot continued to work throughout his life, producing more than 3,000 pictures during his career. In the 1860s, he also experimented with photography and printmaking and used a technique called cliché-verre to combine the two. Image Dimensions : 13 x 17.5 cm

Final state published by in an editon of 12 by Garton & Cooke in 1982 (Nicolson published an edition of 40 in 1927). In states iii and iv, the swallow of the title was removed. In state iv, the sky was re-etched and the cross-hatching was slightly finer. Signed in pencil. Garton writes, page 11: "The design was based on the Anglican chapel-of-ease is the farmyard of Bulisge at Allinston near Chippenham....The print was originally entitled The First Swallow, but the swallow was burnished out before the 1927 edition....Fifty years later new work was effected in the worn-out areas of the sky and distance to produce prints which, in his opinion, were better than those of the original edition."
