Original Dimensions: 18" x 25 1/4"

Location: National Gallery of Art, London

About Artwork: (Perhaps 1865-70) "This landscape is one of a number painted by Corot in his later years, which combine a foreground of trees and figures, a lake or sea at the right, and in the left background sunlit buildings descending a hillside. Corot would interweave elements from different locations, juxtaposing views of such places as the lake at Ville-d’Avray with features of the Italian landscape, using earlier paintings or drawings as reference points. The background buildings, as here, are often reminiscent of the towns he had seen during his three visits to Italy. In the foreground the wood gatherer’s orange hat is typical of the bright accents that Corot introduced into his landscapes. The same colour has been used to pick out flowers in the grass. Also characteristic of the artist’s technique is the treatment of the sky, which he painted at a late stage, bringing it down over the buildings and around and over the foliage of the trees." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
