Pond at Ville-d'Avray, Jean Baptiste Camille Corot , late 1860s, Cleveland Museum of Art: Modern European Painting and SculptureCorot painted this view of a pond near his home at Ville-d'Avray, just west of Paris, in his late style distinguished by soft, hazy forms and gentle, silvery light. Such paintings merge his lifelong study of nature with nostalgic memories and contrast sharply with the more formal compositions and precisely rendered shapes of his early landscapes. Corot’s devotion to the direct study of nature was a major influence on the Impressionists.Size: Framed: 87 x 127 x 11 cm (34 ¼ x 50 x 4 5/16 in.); Unframed: 58.1 x 99.4 cm (22 7/8 x 39 1/8 in.)Medium: oil on fabrichttps://clevelandart.org/art/1944.80 -- source link
