Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796–1875) was a French painter best known for his landscape paintings. He studied with French Neoclassical masters such as Michallon and Bertin and is regarded as a precursor and influence on the Impressionists.

Corot studied with Michallon and Bertin, traveled to Italy, developed plein air practices and atmospheric landscape techniques, influenced artists including Pissarro and Sisley, and was admired by Monet and Degas. His work helped bridge classical landscape traditions and emerging modern movements.
