Description: | Possessing the softened foliage, stems and branches, the foreground with the three figures blending in with nature, this work, attributed to the school of Corot, illustrates the artist's late and finest style of landscape painting. The arrangement of the trees, heavy foliage on one side and tree trunk on the other, is found in many of Corot's works. It particularly resembles that in Corot's Lago di Carda: Chevrière Au Bord de l'Eau of 1865-1870 (private collection), Souvenir of Mortefontaine (1864, Louvre, Paris) and Souvenir of Italy, Castelgandolfo (about 1865, Louvre, Paris). The leaning branches of the tree recall Corot's Bent Tree of 1865-1870 (National Gallery, London). | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille (French painter and draftsman, 1796-1875) Æ School of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8749... | Go to resource |
