Description: | Signed: yes Description: This is a fairly late painting by the renowned French landscape painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. It shows the diffuse style of painting that dominated his work after 1850. The dark trees to the right of the painting that are balanced by the light sky demonstrate his interest in tonal relationships. Corot was famous for developing his studio paintings so they looked like his sketches painted in the open air. He developed a short hand language that meant it was easy to translate onto canvas the effects captured in his pencil sketches of the countryside. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (cows) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille (French painter and draftsman, 1796-1875) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8856... | Go to resource |
