Woman Reading in a Landscape (1869). Jean Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875, French). Metropolitan Museum of Art. Oil on canvas.
Corot painted topographical landscapes throughout his career, but he preferred making small oil sketches and drawings from nature; from these he produced large finished paintings for exhibition. He is often associated with the Barbizon school. A master of tonal gradation and soft edges, he prepared the way for the Impressionist landscape painters and had an important influence on Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Berthe Morisot.
