About the piece

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s 'The Repose' is a hallmark of his late, atmospheric style, often referred to as his 'souvenir' period. The work masterfully balances the weight of the reclining nude with a hazy, ethereal landscape and a group of dancing figures that evoke a sense of timeless, pastoral myth.
