"Château de Rosny" is a landscape painting by French artist Camille Corot, completed in 1840. The painting depicts the Château de Rosny, a French castle located in the town of Rosny-sur-Seine, France. Corot's signature style of soft, atmospheric brushstrokes and muted colors is evident in the painting, capturing the peaceful and serene setting of the castle grounds. Corot was a leading figure in the Barbizon School of landscape painting, a movement that emphasized the direct observation of nature. The painting is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
