Un Village Des Environs De Mantes c. 1860 - 1865

"Un Village Des Environs De Mantes" (c. 1860-1865) by Camille Corot depicts a peaceful, bucolic landscape. This painting, characteristic of Corot's mature style, showcases a rural French village with a church spire peeking through the trees in the distance. The foreground features a verdant meadow with figures tending to livestock, creating a serene and harmonious scene. Corot's signature soft brushstrokes and delicate handling of light contribute to the idyllic atmosphere of this quintessential Barbizon School artwork.
