	Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Corot is often identified with the Barbizon School (c.1830-1870), a long line of French painters who consistently featured the forests of Fontainebleau in Barbizon, France as their main subject.
		Corot's style came to change in the period of the 1840s and 50s, becoming softer and dissolved in his brushwork and color, his use of light becoming more diffused.
		At the heart of Corot's method was the cultivation of the subtle relationship between outdoor (plein air) study and studio (from memory) work, the former a mobile method made possible by the eighteenth century invention of stick pastels.

		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.

	Jean Baptiste Camille COROT - Brief biography and details of two paintings
		Corot's late landscapes are among the most sought after and influential paintings of the nineteenth century; but the path he followed to this success was intensely individual.
		Corot is usually associated with the Barbizon school of landscape painters, many of whom were close personal friends, but Corot's landscapes themselves often have more in common with the seventeenth-century paintings of Poussin or the turn-of-the twentieth-century compositions of Cézanne.
		During the short-lived liberalisation of the Salon under the Republic, Corot was elected to the Salon Jury in 1848 and 1849.

		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.

		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.
		Corot's distinction is driven home in the 18 of his paintings included in "In the Light of Italy." The clarity of aspect, freshness of touch and solidity of structure of pictures like his Island of San Bartolommeo (1826-28) surpass all the rest, though there are many fine artists among his fellows.
		Whereas Corot's sketches always attain a certain grandeur, and tend to feel bigger than they really are, Jones is a born miniaturist, and one might almost say a precisionist, fascinated with the way architecture can be used to create taut geometries in parallel with the picture plane.

		COROT (COnvection and ROTation) is an experiment of very high precision stellar photometry, which will perform measurements of time variations of the stars' radiation intensity in the visible domain.
		The instrumental concept of COROT is a white light photometer with a pupil of 27cm, using CCDs as detectors, which will cover a field of approximately 4 square degrees for each one of the two programs (asteroseismology and exoplanet search).
		COROT will be placed on a polar inertial orbit, which will permit long uninterrupted observations, without earth occultation, in directions close to the pole of the orbit.

	Water Works - The fluid art of Camille Corot. By Christopher Benfey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Corot is often referred to as a pioneer of plein-air painting, but as the Brooklyn show, called "In the Light of Italy: Corot and Early Open-Air Painting," makes clear, the practice of making outdoor sketches in oil was well-established by the time of his first Italian campaign in 1826.
		The show places Corot in the company of an international cast of painters--including the little-known Welsh painter Thomas Jones, who produced some astonishing studies of moldering Neapolitan walls, with drying laundry dangling from balconies--all of whom worked outdoors in Rome and its environs from the 1780s to about 1840.
		While Corot was drawn to the contemplative and even the monastic life (he painted a peculiar series devoted to monks reading, playing the cello, and praying), he was by no means immune to feminine charm.
