About the Item

Large French barbizon painting "The dance of the nymphs" after Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot On the back of the stretcher there is an old stamp “Musée du Louvre Service de Co…”. "The dance of the nymphs" can be admired in the Musée d'Orsay and is an important work in the oeuvre of Corot. As the museum writes: "It marks an evolution in Corot's career, announcing his move from "historical" to "lyrical" landscapes where the natural world is increasingly subject to atmospheric effects. Here however, the artist does not go as far as a "pure" landscape like those of the painters of the Barbizon school to whom he was very close. Corot's work retains the mark of tradition both in the survival of mythological subjects and in the clear distinction between studies "after nature" and studio paintings. Even though the painting was presented as a bacchanal at the 1851 Salon, the dancing figures may have been based on the artist's reverie of scenes recalled from the Opera. In addition, the backdrop of trees resembles a stage curtain, and imbues the whole scene with the atmosphere of a ballet. The title further adds to the ambiguity, the word "matinee" possibly being an allusion to daytime performances, as opposed to "soirées". For this landscape, Corot produced a mirror image of a study he did in the gardens of the Farnese Palace in Rome twenty years earlier. The soft, blurred leaves, so specific to this later period of Corot's work, testify to the artist's interest in the elements of nature rather than the characters portrayed. This is a significant aspect that contributed to Corot's importance in the development of 19th century painting. He is just one step away from the rural landscape, which itself heralded the research of the future Impressionists." The oil on canvas measures ca. 96 by 126cms and with the period frame ca. 104 by 134 cms. Provenance: Grand palais du louvre (Louvre des antiquaires) Private collection, France The work by Corot was created around 1850 and we believe that the present painting dates from the first half of the 20th century.
