  Jean-Baptiste -Camille Corot Paintings Reproduction and Biography
Camille Corot was born in Paris July 26, 1796, in a house on the Quai by the rue du Bac, now demolished.
Corot was educated at Rouen and was afterwards apprenticed to a draper, but hated commercial life and despised what he called its “business tricks," yet he faithfully remained in it until he was twenty-six, when his father at last consented to his adopting the profession of art.
Camille Corot died in Paris in February 22, 1875and was buried at Père Lachaise.

 Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
It seems peculiar that these artists so greatly esteemed le père Corot, since Corot pretended to be out of touch with artistic developments at the end of his life and disapproved of the confrontational nature of the work produced by Monet and the other Intransigeants seeking to commandeer the walls of the annual Paris Salon.
It was Corot the figure painter who impressed Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cezanne; as Edward Lucie-Smith has observed, paintings such as Corot's Dance of the Nymphs may be the key to Cezanne's late paintings of bathers.

Corot continued to paint in almost entire obscurity and it was not until 1848 that it became known that he also painted figures with an exquisite poetic grace.
Corot painted more than three thousand works: small sketches and paintings from nature done in Italy, France, Switzerland, and Holland; large Salon works on historical themes; figure paintings and; and after 1850, landscapes painted from memory in the misty green tonality with which his name is associated.
Corot's influence upon modern art was profound for he was the first to study nature and so was able to give his works that quality of the real that comes from direct and immediate visual experience.

 Camille Corot
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875) is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 19th century, and, with Constable, as one of the supreme masters of the period.
Corot is associated with the Barbizon school, but with the influence of the Dutch and English landscape traditions.
Corot's highly tuned sensitivity to landscape is apparent by the order he imposed on the line and their generally parallel directions.

 PLEXUS: by John Goodrich - Camille Corot: Rebel Without a Pose
solate a color sequence in Corot's painting of 1826, Young Italian Woman from Papigno with Her Distaff: the assertive, hovering gray of the wall at left; the purple-gray shadow's mild introspection; the deep, reverberating Indian red of the shadowy apron; its vermilion highlight's confident pressure; the surfaceless, gray warmth of the far wall.
The stunning exhibition Corot, currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, commemorating the bicentennial of the birth of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, includes close to 150 paintings from all phases of the life of this remarkable painter's painter.
Corot, drawing only upon his visual experience and his genius to transform it in the language of painting, has conceived one of the most vivid reenactments of life I know of, and incidentally, shown that in the abstract art of painting, distinctions between real and ideal are superfluous.

The son of Parisian milliners, Corot first worked as a cloth merchant before, at the age of twenty-six, deciding to become a painter.
Corot received official recognition in the 1840s and soon had more landscape commissions than he could handle.
But even at his most realistic, Corot never entirely abandoned the lessons of his classical training, and his landscapes are invariably pervaded by an atmosphere of idyllic calm.

 Jean Baptiste Camille Corot Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
The fresh and often informal treatment of nature by the French painter Jean Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875) marked a significant departure from academic tradition and strongly influenced the development of landscape painting in the 19th century.
Corot was, indeed, rapidly master of his art, and if there is a weakness in these impressive early works, it lies only in some unconvincing attempts to conform to official expectations by introducing historical or biblical figures into his more ambitious scenes.
Although Corot's art contributed to some aspects of impressionism (and Berthe Morisot received his guidance in 1861), he is appreciated even more for the realization of his poetical vision by means of a subtle and secure handling of his medium than for the historically forward-looking elements in his art.

Following an old pictorial tradition, Corot has included the angel from an earlier episode in which the pregnant Hagar, expelled by Sarah, was sent back to her by an angel (Genesis 16:7–9).
Corot began this work just before his second trip to Italy in 1834 and finished it upon his return to Paris.

Corot and fellow landscape artists working in the forest of Fontainebleau were important influences on the impressionists, not only in their commitment to plein-air painting, but also in their adoption of a brighter palette.
Corot, using a light-colored ground, suffused his paintings with a silvery light and poetic feel.
Pissarro, in particular, identified himself as Corot's student, and in the horizontal layering of his landscapes is a legacy of Corot's classical training and careful compositions.

Corot seems to have been the least Oedipal of men, establishing his sense of self not by rebellion but through persistence.
It has often been noticed that, since Corot's death, taste has favored his early landscape sketches and his late figure paintings, which were known to fellow painters but not to the general public, rather than the Salon paintings so renowned during the artist's lifetime.
But if the young Corot was hardly a revolutionary, in middle age he was far from retardataire, and attempts by revisionist art historian to assimilate him unequivocally to his context, as though he were merely a conventional practitioner of the day, are misleading.

Robaut found many drawings that correspond to the painted studies and concluded that Corot used drawings to save time and as an aid to his memory, to facilitate progress on a study which he then finished on the spot in a few sessions.
For Corot, the study was only an artistic potential that preceded and Inevitably led to the studio landscape.
When he worked in the studio Corot did not systematically use his studies as a source of inspiration for a paysage coniposi, as some have asserted, and he could go directly to the painting without the preliminary stage of making a study from nature.

 Jean Baptiste Camille Corot
Camille Corot was a French landscape artist and portrait painter who was linked with, though never a member of, the Barbizon School.
Corot was trained in the classical tradition of French landscape, based chiefly on the work of Poussin (pooh-ssin).
Corot shared the same interest in architectural clarity and stability as his predecessors, yet he was more interested in seizing the moment, quickly recording his exact observation of any scene that happened to grab his attention.

Through he represented nature realistically, he did not idealize the peasant or the labors of agriculture in the manner of Millet and Courbet, and was uninvolved in ideological controversy.
Late in his career Corot also turned to figure painting and it is only fairly recently that this aspect of his work has emerged from neglect -- his female nudes are often of high quality.
It was, however, his directness of vision that was generally admired by the major landscape painters of the latter half of the century and influenced nearly all of them at some stage in their careers.

De familia acaudalada, Corot recibió una educación burguesa y sus estudios secundarios en Rouen, entre 1807 y 1812, le marcaron definitivamente.
Camille, sin embargo, dedica casi toda su jornada laboral a dibujar, por lo que la familia termina por plegarse a su vocación y financia su formación artística.
Corot, en ese sentido, introdujo en Francia la estética de lo fragmentario, definida en la pintura de paisaje por los románticos ingleses como Constable.

Camille Corot (1796-1875) was probably the painter the most copied during the 19th century not only by imitators but also by talented artists..
Therefore Corot made apparently no fuss about the many forgeries that were circulating by 1875 perhaps finding amusing to be so much copied.
When Corot died, the demand for his works was quite extraordinary and speculators rushed on the market while fakes came out in numbers to Robaut’s despair.

For some reason, Corot painted out the cello and painted in a rose for the young woman to hold in place of the cello's throat.
To anyone who has watched, and especially drawn cellists at work, the posture is clearly that of a cellist, invisible and silent though the instrument may be.

 Impressionism - Jean-Baptiste Camille COROT
Today it is rather surprising to read the unqualified praise for Camille Corot (1796-1875) voiced over and over again by the generation of painters who were maturing just when he died.
The very notion of modernity that infuses much of Monet's art, the knowing urbanity of Degas 's, the ceaseless experimentation that characterizes both these oeuvres seem completely at odds with Corot's contemplative vision of a timeless, unchanging Arcadia - or what some call his monotonous views of Ville-d'Avray.
As those and other painters in Corot's Italian circle became better known, Corot was more and more seen as the obedient disciple of Pierre-Henri sValenciennes, the codifier of Neoclassical landscape painting; as the last in a line of painters continuing to work an aesthetic forged in the eighteenth century.

 Jean Baptiste Camille Corot Exhibition, Masterworks Fine Art
After an apprenticeship of five years in a drapery business, Corot studied painting from 1822 to 1825, first under the painter Michallon, then under the Classical landscape painter Victor Bertin, and copying works by Joseph Verner and others, including the 17th century Dutch masters.
Convinced that "man can only be an artist when he has recognized in himself a strong passion for nature", he painted, or mostly sketched, outdoors, working in the forest of Fontainebleau, at Dieppe, Le Havre, Rouen and at Ville d' Avray where his father owned a house.
The actual paintings based on these studies, for example, the "View of Narni" (Ottawa, National Gallery of Canada, 1826), painted for the 1827 Paris Salon, are in comparison rather formal, in the manner of the New Classicism.
