In the Woods at Ville d'Avray 1835

"In the Woods at Ville d'Avray" (1835) by Camille Corot is a classic example of the artist's signature style. The painting depicts a serene woodland scene with a group of figures gathering wood, characterized by soft, hazy light and a focus on atmosphere. Corot's masterful use of light and color creates a sense of tranquility, reflecting his deep connection to nature. The painting is considered a significant work of the Barbizon School, a group of French landscape painters who emphasized realism and the depiction of nature in its natural state.
