Description: | Corot was the leading French landscape painter of the early nineteenth century. This study of a glade in Fontainebleau was painted very early in the artist's career, before he made his formative visit to Italy. Corot often stayed in the Fontainebleau area, where he made studies from nature. Although these spontaneous studies are now among the most highly prized of his paintings, they were not regarded as works of art in their own right until much later in the nineteenth century. Like many of Corot's small oil sketches, this one remained in his studio until after his death. | Subjects: | landscape (Fontainebleau) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille (French painter and draftsman, 1796-1875) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8879... | Go to resource |
