Jean Baptiste Camille Corot - Paintings


Jean Baptiste Camille Corot was a French portrait and landscape painter of Realism and educated in the style of Nicolas Poussin. He is considered a pioneer of Impressionism.
Born on July 16, 1796 in Paris.
Died on February 22, 1875 in Paris.
Camille Corot's atmospheric landscape depictions charm by their unsurpassed ease, clear compositions and scenic lighting. By means of the fine shading of color and the subordination of the form under the design of atmosphere, both his landscapes and the partly mythological, partly religious portrait depictions appear in their corresponding individual mood. From about 1830, Corot's choice of colors, which had been affected by several trips to Italy, changed from ocher yellow and light shades of blue to increasingly grey and airily shimmering colors. With this highly poetic style of painting, he is considered as groundbreaking for the early Impressionist painters.
