1845
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Souvenir of Tuscany (Souvenir de Toscane) is a 1845 ink by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a quiet, leafless forest in winter. Twisted branches stretch across the scene, framing a small building with a dome in the distance. The ground is covered in tangled roots and sparse grass, and the sky is just a faint line near the top. The artist used sharp lines to create texture, almost like scratching into the surface. This method makes the trees look rough and the sky feel distant. Next, check out how this was made with etching.
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.
