Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875) had a long productive career and spent most of it exploring effects of light on landscape. A century earlier Claude Lorrain had pursued a similar project in the environs of Rome. Young Corot took his turn studying and painting in Italy, but established his mature working life in France. These silvery late landscapes, painted when Corot was in his sixties and seventies, became so popular with collectors, we are told, that the artist's earlier work was neglected.
