The Raging One 1830

"The Raging One" is an 1830 painting by Camille Corot, showcasing a solitary figure seated on a rock in a landscape dominated by a large, windswept tree. The composition emphasizes the figure's isolation, which is heightened by the open sky and the expanse of the landscape. This work reflects Corot's early style, which often featured idealized natural settings, characterized by soft brushstrokes and a sense of poetic tranquility. The painting, now in a private collection, offers a glimpse into Corot's development as a landscape painter and the romantic sensibilities that defined his early work.
