Camille Corot likely made this painting, Sous-bois, using oil paint on canvas. The ways in which the pigments have been brushed onto the canvas, particularly the contrasts between light and shadow, give this landscape scene its depth. You can almost feel the texture of the rocks and sense the density of the forest, which is a testament to Corot's skill and attention to detail. Looking closely, you'll see the amount of labor involved in creating this artwork. Each brushstroke contributes to the overall composition, slowly building up layer upon layer of details. By emphasizing the amount of time and care required to produce such a piece, we can start to see how it challenges traditional distinctions between art and craft.
