Camille Corot's "Ponte Nomentano" (1828) depicts a cascading waterfall in a lush green landscape. Known for his landscapes and figure paintings, Corot captured the beauty of nature with his signature soft, muted palette and painterly brushstrokes. This intimate depiction of the Italian countryside reflects Corot's fascination with the light and atmosphere of nature, a theme that would define his artistic career.
