Forest of Fontainebleau 1846

"Forest of Fontainebleau" (1846) by Camille Corot is a quintessential example of the artist's signature style of landscape painting. Known for his delicate brushwork and atmospheric depictions of nature, Corot captures the serene beauty of the Fontainebleau forest with its verdant trees, tranquil pond, and soft light. The painting's soft focus and hazy outlines create a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting the viewer to wander through the forest's tranquil depths. Corot's work, often categorized as Barbizon school, has earned him a reputation as one of the most influential landscape painters of the 19th century.
