Description: | Signed: yes Description: This work by the great landscape artist Corot, illustrates the artist's late and finest phase of landscape painting. It resembles numerous works executed at Ville-d'Avray, a small town west of Paris, where the Corot family owned a house, during the years 1865-73, and where Corot spent most of his time in his later years. The softened foliage, the dreamy quality of the idealised landscape, the peasants conversing, the water's surface touched by a soft light, can all be found in his later Ville-d'Avray pictures. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille (French painter and draftsman, 1796-1875) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8519... | Go to resource |
