1860
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Souvenir of the Environs of Monaco (Souvenir des environs de Monaco) is a 1860 by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a jagged tree in the foreground, its branches twisting across the whole picture. Behind it, a small town sits on a hill, with a dome-shaped building standing out. The scene looks like a sketchy, half-finished drawing—just lines and shadows with no color. The artist used a weird method called *cliché-verre*, which layers glass and light to create this fuzzy, almost ghostly effect. It’s like the image was printed through a veil. Next, check out Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille for more of his dreamy landscapes.
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.
