An entire series of Corot's prominent paintings - from his earlier paintings onward - would be fantastic to see his development. His paintings are soothing and calm to observe - nothing rushed, nothing chaotic, nothing jarring but balanced and thoughtful. I've only seen perhaps 30-40 of his paintings online. Corot was a subdued master of palette, setting, mood, color, atmosphere and line. Definitely would love a much longer version of his paintings. Did not know he painted portraits. Thank you for this intro to yet another master, Corot.
I would love to do a long form video on him. Absolutely. I'll write that down. I want to do the same with Pissarro. Both of them changed their styles so much. It's really fun to see their skills mature as well over time.
Super appreciate your artistic eyes and explanations of artists, JP. So calming for all of us. When i get the time to attend a gallery I become hypnotized and transport into the paintings. It is similar as you hold our thoughts while you gently walk us through these works and life os the artists. So invigorating and refreshing to lose myself in art.
This is a great insight- Corot is popularly regarded as a landscape painter, and his influence on the Impressionists is well known, but his figurative works are real "painter's paintings". It's not at all difficult to see echoes of Corot in Cézanne, and later Modernist figurative painters. We really enjoyed this!
I've always loved Corot. His mastery reminds me of Sargent, especially the confident brushstrokes. (I'm not speaking stylistically in the comparison, just a bit of technique.)
Thanks! It means a lot to me that you said that. I am not here for the badges. I am here for the wealth of information you provide and for the community that you created. 😊
Well, I kind of doubt it, but he may have had an influence on the Hudson River School. Here’s my understanding (It’s kind of interesting): Corot is considered a forerunner of the Barbizon movement in France which took place around the same time as the Hudson River School in America. One of his painting colleagues was Charles-Francois Daubigny, who is considered a key figure in the Barbizon School. The name Hudson River School is said to have loosely come from Barbizon enthusiasts. “As with so many other pioneering historical art movements, the name Hudson River School was first used disparagingly, by voguishly Europhile critics who favored the dignified realism of L'École de Barbizon.” www.sothebys.com/en/art-movements/hudson-river-school How do the movements relate? Here’s an interesting quote that compares the two: “Hudson River School artists…were keen to observe nature, and most considered ordinary forests, rivers, and mountains worthy subjects for their own sakes, rather than as vessels for a larger narrative. As such, this American art movement paralleled a contemporaneous French movement. The Barbizon School, made famous by the likes of Camille Corot, also prized en plein air painting and rejected narratives or moral lessons as necessary in landscape paintings. However, Hudson River School paintings are rarely faithful snapshots of places as they actually appeared. In fact, many are composites of multiple related areas or vantage points.” www.thecollector.com/hudson-river-school-american-art/

Pissarro is fantastic.
Great video and education!
Great insight. Thanks for another great video.

Thank you for that. I love to know how the videos impact viewers. And art is so special.
Thank you Jill. Wasn’t aware Corot also had painted portraits. They are quite lovely
Aren't they wonderful? Glad you enjoyed the video, Leonie.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and I agree about him being a "painter's painter." Well put.
Thank you for informative work. I delved in you soothing voice ma'am. Blessings
I loved that you concentrated on Corot’s brushwork in this video. I do not paint in oil colours, but I am fascinated by the artists’ brushwork.
Nice attention to detail.
Very interesting! Many of this portraits reminded me of DaVinci’s depictions of women particularly in the use of light on the face.
It does. And a similar color palette at times. Good catch.
I love your content. I learn and discover so much. Thank you 🙏🏾
I"m glad you're enjoying it!
1800s to the late 1800s is probably my favourite era of all time 🙂
This was an amazing show
Thank you so much - glad you enjoyed it.
I've always loved Corot. His mastery reminds me of Sargent, especially the confident brushstrokes. (I'm not speaking stylistically in the comparison, just a bit of technique.)
Definitely - I know what you mean. I love it when artists can convey an element or part of a structure with one swipe. So amazing.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Just popped in to say first! I’ll watch this after work. 🙂
If I could give badges...you'd get one for sure, awatercolorist!

This is so interesting. Thank you for sharing. Would you say he was influenced by the Hudson River School painters at all?
