About the piece
Painted around 1850, 'Evocation of Love' captures the characteristic soft-focus and poetic atmosphere of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's later work. The reclining nude figure reaching toward a hovering cupid creates a sense of romantic longing, set against a deeply shadowed, mysterious woodland backdrop typical of French Romanticism and the Barbizon influence.
