from 5 Continents Editions
Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-875) was the leading figure of the Barbizon school in France in the mid-nineteenth century and a pivotal figure in landscape painting. This volume - from the series dedicated to drawings in the Louvre, which also holds the largest collections of drawings by Corot - examines the principal artistic phases of Corot, who considered drawing the very essence of art. Drawings, sketchbooks and autograph letters enable the reader to follow Corot in his numerous journeys to Italy and within France, and reveal the development and richness of his style, from the precise, vigorous lines of his early studies to those of his mature style, executed in pencil and pen, and on to the velvety, deep blacks of his late charcoal works. Landscapes drawn in situ or recomposed from memory, monuments, portraits and nudes are presented in the exhibition which, through a selection of his clich,s verre , also highlights Corot's fundamental importance in the field of 19th-century print-makin
Corot in Italy: Open-Air Painting and the Classical-Landscape Tradition
In addition to offering the first critical study of Camille Corot`s magnificent Italian landscapes, Corot in Italy is also the first book to establish the coherence and significance of early outdoor painting in Italy. Generously illustrated with scores of beautiful paintings unfamiliar even to experts, Peter Galassi`s thorough examination of a brilliant episode in the work of a great painter is also a provocative contribution to the study of nineteenth-century painting.
Corot: Extraordinary Landscapes (Discoveries (Abrams))

Impressions of Light: The French Landscape from Corot to Monet
by Paul Gauguin
from MFA Publications
This large, lavish journey through the art of the 19th-century French landscape offers a host of masterful works, among them Corot's Forest of Fontainbleau, Millet's End of the Hamlet of Gruchy, Renoir's Rocky Crags at L'Estaque, and Monet's Rue de la Bavolle, Honfleur. As is often the case, however, some of the most wonderful things to see are also the least expected: rare and unusual monotypes by Degas, three states of a softground etching by Pissarro, and numerous works by some of their lesser-known but equally important contemporaries. Unlike previous books on the topic, Impressions of Light presents a unique and stunningly complete group of work that introduces a new level of complexity into the discussion of French landscapes. Rather than considering the landscape as a steady, linear development and the product of a single medium, it takes into account the many crosscurrents and intersecting developments in French art, from the Barbizon school through the post-Impressionist period. In addition, it studies the landscape in a variety of media--painting, prints, and photography--exploring both the individual artists' perceptions and the ways in which they influenced each other. With over 80 paintings and 70 works on paper from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's collections, and published to accompany a major exhibition, Impressions of Light encompasses more than 100 years and 56 artists working in a dozen different media. It holds the broadest possible view, yet never loses sight of the extraordinary intricacy that makes the landscape so enduringly appealing.
In the Light of Italy: Corot and Early Open-Air Painting
by Philip Conisbee
from National Gallery Washington
Artists who pioneered open-air landscape painting between 1780 and 1840 came to Italy from all over Europe to respond directly to the beauty of landscape for the first time. With a rich selection of representative paintings from these outdoor artists, this beautiful book traces the work of the earliest members of the school, Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes and Thomas Jones, to the culminating paintings of Corot.
