Corot, (Jean-Baptiste-) Camille
- Corot, (Jean-Baptiste-) Camille
-
died Feb. 22, 1875, Paris
French landscape painter.
Born to prosperous parents,
he proved unsuited to the family business and at age 25 was given a small allowance to pursue art training.
He traveled frequently and painted topographical landscapes throughout his career,
but he preferred making small oil sketches and drawings from nature;
from these he produced large finished paintings for exhibition.
By the 1850s he had achieved critical success and a large income,
and he was generous to less successful artists.
His naturalistic oil sketches are now more highly regarded than his more self-
consciously poetic finished paintings.
He is often associated with the Barbizon school.
A master of tonal gradation and soft edges,
he prepared the way for the Impressionist landscape painters and had an important influence on Claude Monet,
Camille Pissarro,
and Berthe Morisot.
