Souvenir of Italy 1871

"Souvenir of Italy" is a landscape drawing created by the French artist Camille Corot in 1871. Known for his delicate brushstrokes and romanticized landscapes, Corot's drawing depicts a picturesque Italian countryside scene. The hazy atmosphere and soft outlines of the trees create a sense of tranquility and evoke a memory of the artist's travels. The drawing's simplicity and evocative nature are characteristic of Corot's style and reflect his influence on later generations of landscape painters. The drawing is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
