Landschap met Horatius onder grote bomen 1855

"Landschap met Horatius onder grote bomen" (Landscape with Horatius Under Large Trees), a lithograph created in 1855 by renowned French artist Camille Corot, showcases his signature style of romantic landscape painting. The artwork features a serene woodland scene, rendered in delicate shades of brown and grey, conveying a sense of tranquility and the fleeting nature of light. Corot's masterful handling of light and shadow, coupled with the evocative depiction of nature, has established him as a key figure in the Barbizon school of painting, known for its emphasis on plein air landscapes. This lithograph, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Corot's artistic vision and his deep connection to the natural world.
