A Road through the Trees 1870

"A Road through the Trees" is an 1870 landscape painting by Camille Corot. The painting depicts a winding path leading through a lush forest, with a glimpse of a river and distant buildings in the background. Corot's characteristic soft brushstrokes and muted palette create a sense of tranquility and evoke the beauty of nature. This painting, like much of Corot's work, exemplifies the Barbizon school of painting, known for its focus on realistic depictions of rural landscapes.
