This landscape painting by Camille Corot, known as “The Swamp near the Big Tree and a Shepherdess”, features a shepherdess and a goat in the foreground, framed by a large tree on the right and a swamp in the middle ground. The soft, hazy atmosphere and muted colors are characteristic of Corot’s style, which is known as Barbizon School. This style, developed in the mid-19th century, emphasizes naturalistic depictions of landscapes and evokes a sense of tranquility and poetic beauty. The painting offers a glimpse into the romantic and idyllic landscapes of the Barbizon era.
