Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875) can hardly be classified as a painter. His work is characterized by the great styles of the 19th century. The painter, famous for his landscapes, also made a name for himself with his depictions of people. In his search for "true painting" on his excursions or in his souvenirs in the studio, Corot was an eternal traveller throughout his life, placing nature at the centre of his work.
The works of French landscape & portrait painter and printmaker Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (16 July 1796 -- 22 February 1875). Volume 2 (of 3).
Published to accompany a major exhibition of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's paintings held in Paris and Ottawa during 1996, and forthcoming to New York. From nearly 3,000 paintings by this poetic 19th-century artist, the curators chose 163 works, which are reproduced here along with full art-historical discussions of each. Three major essays chronicle Corot's life and the development of his art; additional essays elucidate the subject of forgeries and describe the collecting of his works. Much original new scholarship is included along with a review of the scholarly literature, a concordance, and a chronology. 9.5x12.5"Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
