Mont Soracte 1827

"Mont Soracte" is a landscape painting by Camille Corot, completed in 1827. Corot, a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, was known for his plein air landscapes. The painting depicts a picturesque view of the mountain Mont Soracte, a volcanic peak near Rome, in a soft and atmospheric style. The distant mountain, bathed in sunlight, contrasts with the foreground's darker hues, capturing the play of light and shadow that Corot masterfully captured. The loose brushstrokes and muted palette contribute to the overall sense of tranquility and evoke a serene mood.
