The Gypsies 1872

"The Gypsies", painted in 1872 by Camille Corot, showcases his signature style of landscape painting. The artwork depicts a group of figures, likely Romani people, gathered beneath a large tree at dusk, their presence subtly contrasted against the soft light of the setting sun. Corot's use of loose brushstrokes and muted colors creates a sense of tranquility and atmosphere, characteristic of his later works. While the figures remain anonymous, their simple forms and the overall serenity of the scene contribute to the overall romanticism that Corot is known for.
