Gisors, River Bordered by Trees 1873

"Gisors, River Bordered by Trees" is a painting from 1873 by the French artist Camille Corot, known for his landscapes. The scene depicts a small river in the town of Gisors, France, bordered by lush trees and a few figures. The composition is balanced, with the river flowing diagonally across the canvas, drawing the viewer's eye towards the distant horizon. Corot's characteristic soft brushstrokes and gentle light create a sense of tranquility and evoke a sense of the beauty of nature. This painting exemplifies Corot's artistic style known as Barbizon school painting, which focused on capturing the simple beauty of nature.
