Summary
Corot was one of the most influential French landscape painters in the 1800s. Although based on older classical traditions, his oeuvre had a strong impact on the plein-air painting that evolved in that century. He also experimented with landscape photography, another facet of his innovative approach to the genre. Louis Dubuisson was a close friend of the artist. In this painting from 1868, Corot portrayed his friend’s home in the small town of Brunoy, near Paris. Svenska: Corot var en av de mest inflytelserika franska landskapsmålarna under 1800-talet.

Corot is best known for his landscape paintings, which often feature soft, hazy atmospheres and delicate, muted colours. He was particularly interested in capturing the effects of light and atmosphere in his work. Corot's style was influenced by both the classical landscape tradition and the Romantic movement. In addition to his landscapes, Corot also painted portraits and figure studies. He was a prolific artist, producing over 3,000 paintings during his lifetime. Corot's work was not always well received by critics during his lifetime, but he gained recognition and popularity in the later years of his career. He is now regarded as one of the most important French landscape painters of the 19th century.
