Description: | Corot often helped his less successful colleagues, pupils, friends and copyists by working over, finishing, and even signing their compositions. As he grew older even he found it hard at times to distinguish his own works from their copies. In treatment of subject matter and style this painting resembles a number of Corot's works from 1865-1870, when he was concerned with poetic feelings invested in ethereal landscapes decorated with unidentifiable innocent workers, as can be seen in this work. During this period topography was usually 'secondary to the general atmosphere' which Corot had created, as Michel Clark wrote in Corot and the Art of Landscape, London, 1991, pp. 90-91. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille (French painter and draftsman, 1796-1875) Æ Attributed to after | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8821... | Go to resource |
