1871
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Poet's Dwelling (La Demeure du poete) is a 1871 by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketchy drawing shows a quiet landscape with a small house and trees. The lines are loose and wavy, almost like scribbles. The whole scene is in shades of brown and beige, giving it a faded, dreamy look. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed through glass to create this effect. It’s not a painting but a print, which makes the lines look soft and blurry. Next, check out Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille—he made lots of landscapes like this.
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (UK: KORR-oh, US: kə-ROH, kor-OH; French: ; 16 July 1796 – 22 February 1875), or simply Camille Corot, was a French landscape and portrait painter as well as a printmaker in etching.
