Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
L'Etang Au Bouleau et à La Vachère

circa 19th century

About the Item

An exceptional impressionist landscape by French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875). Corot was born in Paris, France and studied early on with A. Michallon then with Victor Bertin, painting landscapes in the Forest of Fountainebleau, opening a studio in Paris, and traveling during the summers to Ville d'Avray, Chailly, and Barbizon. He is best known as the great master of landscape painting in the 19th century who bridged the French neoclassical tradition with the impressionist movement of the 1870's. 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. 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 onward, his manner of painting became more lyrical, affected with a more impressionistic touch. In part, this evolution in expression can be seen as marking the transition from the plein-air paintings of his youth, shot through with warm, natural light, to the studio-created landscapes of his late maturity, enveloped in uniform tones of silver. 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 has seen, along with Meindert Hobbema, Claude Lorrain, J.M.W. Turner, and John Constable. Oil on canvas, signed lower left, and housed in a spendid period foliate decorated giltwood frame. The painting has been authenticated and includes a letter from Martin Dieterle. Dimensions: 11 in H x 16 in W, actual; 22.25 in H x 27.25 in W, framed.
