About the piece

Painted in 1864, this work by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot exemplifies the poetic, atmospheric style of the Barbizon school. Silhouetted trees frame a tranquil river passage, where two figures glide across the water beneath a soft, luminous sky, showcasing Corot's celebrated ability to capture light and air.
