Volterra, Church and Bell Tower 1834

"Volterra, Church and Bell Tower" is an 1834 landscape painting by French artist Camille Corot. The painting, which is currently in a private collection, depicts a picturesque Italian landscape, showcasing the artist's signature style. It features a church and bell tower set against a rolling hillside, the latter rendered in soft, atmospheric brushstrokes that characterize Corot's Barbizon school aesthetic. The painting embodies the romanticism of the 19th century, capturing the tranquility of the Italian countryside.
