Description: | Corot's Salon pictures, like Pastorale clearly reveal his respect for the French classical landscape tradition. Painted in the studio, the motifs in the painting - the setting, the dancing figures and the music-making faun at the left were are all drawn from earlier works. Like most of Corot's mature landscapes, Pastoral evokes a wistful arcadia, completely at odds with what the young impressionists were painting at this date. | 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=8774... | Go to resource |
