About the artist

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot

French

1796–1875

Born in Paris in 1796, Corot studied at the Collège de Rouen. He then studied with the landscapist Achille Etna Michallon, and later, Jean-Victor Bertin - both of which were pupils of Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes. He travelled all over Europe producing many landscape paintings. Corot was the leading painter of the Barbizon School of France in the mid-nineteenth century and a pivotal figure in landscape painting. He was a great influence on the 19th century landscape painting and the Impressionists. His work had been exhibited in the Paris Salon and at the Exposition Universelle of 1855. Corot produced more than 3,000 paintings over the course of his artistic career.
