Description: | 77.0 x 86.0 s.b.r "COROT" CRE COROT, Jean-Baptiste-Camille; (French; 1796-1875) LABEL "Corot was a leading French 19th-century landscape painter from the Barbizon School. This atmospheric view is typical of his late landscapes with its narrow range of colour, rapid brushstrokes, and use of thin paint. Corot's work was a formative influence for the Impressionists as well as for the Glasgow Boys."
The town of Corbeil lies at the junction of the rivers Essone and Seine, 18 miles to the south of Paris. Corot?s view was taken from the south-east looking across the Seine to the right bank. The tower behind the bridge is that of a large flour mill. The painting?s first owner was one of Corot?s medical advisers, Dr Cambay, who owned at least nine works by the artist including another view of this stretch of the Seine. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | LANDSCAPE : FRANCE : FIGURE : FEMALE : BRIDGE : CORBEUIL : RIVER : FRENCH 19TH CENTURY DISPLAY 2004 : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
