Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting, signed by Corot, is similar to works he produced around the 1860s and 1870s. In these years, Corot had become a very popular painter of hazy landscapes that evoke a tranquil mood, as demonstrated in this canvas showing two figures in a valley, with a building in the background. It is difficult to identify the location of the scene as in Corot's later paintings he tended not to show truly recognisable places. Instead he concentrated on building up the composition through contrasting light and dark whilst working up dense areas of paint to suggest the moistness of undergrowth. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille (French painter and draftsman, 1796-1875) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8360... | Go to resource |
