Italian Landscape
Camille Corot French
Not on view
At the age of twenty-nine, three years after choosing to become a painter, Corot left Paris for his first Italian sojourn (1825–28). In Rome he joined a growing number of artists who formed one of the earliest schools of open-air landscape painting. Corot devoted much of his energy to small views of Rome and studies, like this one, of the surrounding countryside.
