1858
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Hide-and-Seek (Cache-cache) is a 1858 by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet forest scene with tall, thin trees and a faint path winding through them. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough draft. The whole image has a soft, faded look, almost like it’s half-erased. The artist used a weird technique—*cliché-verre*—which means they printed the image through glass. It’s not a painting at all, but a mix of drawing and photography. Want to see more? Check out Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille.
