View of Marino in the Alban Mountains in the Early Morning 1826 - 1827

Camille Corot's "View of Marino in the Alban Mountains in the Early Morning" (1826-1827) captures the serene beauty of the Italian landscape. The painting, currently housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a distant village nestled amongst rolling hills, bathed in the soft light of dawn. The artist's signature loose brushstrokes and muted palette convey the tranquility of the scene, while the subtle details of the architecture and foliage bring the landscape to life. This work is a prime example of Corot's mastery of plein air painting, showcasing his ability to capture the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere.
