About Artwork: (1836) "This panoramic view of the medieval city of Avignon in the south of France most likely dates from a visit Corot made in July 1836. We are looking at Avignon from the small town of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, on the opposite side of the Rhône. The luminosity of this oil study is similar to outdoor oil sketches Corot made during his first visit to Italy from 1825 to 1828. As in those sketches, Corot uses horizontal bands of light and dark tones and blocks of carefully modulated colour, which he places next to each other. It is possible to identify a number of the landmarks in Avignon, including the Papal Palace in the centre of the picture, as well as the remains of the famous bridge on the left. However, Corot is more interested in the overall effect of the composition as a harmoniously balanced arrangement of colours and tones." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
