Corot and the Art of Landscape by Michael Clarke is a beautifully illustrated study of French landscape painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796–1875).
Published in 1991 by Cross River Press in association with the British Museum Press, this volume examines Corot's artistic development, his approach to landscape painting, and his influence on the generation of painters who followed him.
Combining scholarly commentary with reproductions of Corot's work, the book explores his Italian landscapes, French views, lyrical compositions, and relationship to the emerging Impressionist movement.
Approximately 135 color and black-and-white illustrations accompany the discussion of Corot's life, paintings, artistic development, and lasting contribution to landscape art.
Also includes an introduction, conclusion, bibliographical note, list of illustrations, and index.
An appealing volume for admirers of Corot, landscape painters, students of nineteenth-century French art, and readers interested in the development of Impressionism.
Its substantial illustrated content also makes it an attractive addition to a personal art library or collection of European painting.
