"Near Rotterdam" is an 1854 landscape painting by French artist Camille Corot. Known for his serene and atmospheric scenes, Corot captures the beauty of a Dutch countryside with a windmill in the distance. The painting features a muted color palette dominated by soft greens and grays, highlighting the subtle interplay of light and shadow through the trees. This intimate work, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the essence of the scene, reflects Corot's mastery of plein air painting and his influence on the development of Impressionism.
