Souvenir of Italy 1866

"Souvenir of Italy" (1866) is an etching by the French artist Camille Corot. The piece showcases Corot's masterful use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The distant cityscape, partially obscured by foliage, evokes a sense of nostalgia and romanticism, quintessential elements of Corot's artistic style. This delicate etching, now housed in the Brooklyn Museum, is a testament to Corot's ability to capture the beauty of the Italian landscape through subtle lines and tonal variations.
