Lago di Piediluco, Umbria is a 1826 oil by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, a Realism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting shows a serene lake scene. In the foreground, the lake's calm water reflects the surrounding hills and sky. On the left, a small building with a tower stands on the lake's edge, while a few trees dot the shoreline. The background features rolling hills and mountains under a light blue sky. The painting's use of soft colors and gentle brushstrokes creates a peaceful atmosphere. The artist's attention to the play of light on the water's surface adds depth to the scene.
