About the piece

Created around 1865, this work by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot is a quintessential example of his later 'souvenir' style. It showcases his mastery of atmosphere through a soft, silvery palette and blurred, poetic forms that invite contemplation. The composition beautifully balances the dark, grounded mass of the trees with the luminous, open expanse of the water and sky.
