1855
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Gardens of Horace (Les Jardins d'Horace) is a 1855 by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a hazy, dreamy landscape with tangled trees and a winding path. The colors are soft and muted, mostly browns and yellows, blending into the background. The scene feels quiet and a bit mysterious, like looking through fog. The artist used a special technique called *cliché-verre*, where light passes through glass plates to create the image. This method gives it a unique, almost ghostly look. Next, check out Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille to see how he played with light and nature in other works.
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.
