A new appraisal of intriguing and meditative figural works by one
of the 19th century's great masters of landscape The women painted
by Camille Corot (1796-1875) read, dream, and gaze at the viewer,
conveying an independent spirit and a sense of their inner lives.
Corot's handling of color and his deft, delicate touch applied to
the female form resulted in pictures of quiet majesty. Although
these figural paintings constitute a relatively small and
little-known portion of his oeuvre, they were of great importance
for the founders of modernist painting, such as Paul Cezanne, Pablo
Picasso, and Georges Braque. This publication encompasses some
forty paintings by Corot-from the single-figure bust and
full-length images of the 1840s through the 1860s nudes and his
allegorical series devoted to the model in the studio. Essays by
leading experts in the field address Corot's debt to the old
masters and the impact of his pictures on both 19th- and
20th-century painting, the relationship of his figural work to his
more famous landscape practice, his response to the shifting social
position of artists' models, and the incursion of photography into
artistic practice in the Second Empire and early Third Republic.
