Aqueduct is a 1826 oil by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Realism work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting shows a landscape with a road and hills in the foreground. In the background, there are buildings and mountains under a blue sky. The colors are mostly greens and browns, with some blue in the sky. The painting is very detailed, with lots of small brushstrokes. You can see the texture of the trees and the roughness of the road. The buildings in the background are also detailed, with windows and doors visible. The artist, Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, used a technique called glazing to create the soft, hazy effect in the painting.
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.
