About the piece
Painted during Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot's foundational first trip to Italy in 1826, this oil study captures the rugged geological forms of Cività Castellana. The work showcases the artist's pioneering mastery of natural light and atmospheric perspective, beautifully contrasting the warm ochre tones of the bluffs against the deep greens of the forest valley.
