Jean-Baptiste-Camille
Corot was a French landscape and portrait painter as well as a printmaker in
etching. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting and his vast output
simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the
plein-air innovations of Impressionism. Historians have divided his work into periods,
but the points of division are often vague, as he often completed a picture
years after he began it. In his early period, he painted traditionally and
"tight"—with minute exactness, clear outlines, thin brush work, and
with absolute definition of objects throughout, with a monochromatic
underpainting or ébauche. After he reached his 50th year, his methods changed
to focus on breadth of tone and an approach to poetic power conveyed with
thicker application of paint; and about 20 years later, from about 1865
onwards, his manner of painting became more lyrical, affected with a more
impressionistic touch. In his final 10
years he became the "Père (Father) Corot" of Parisian artistic
circles, where he was regarded with personal affection, and acknowledged as one
of the five or six greatest landscape painters the world had seen, along with
Meindert Hobbema, Claude Lorrain, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable. In his long
and productive life, he painted over 3,000 paintings.
