Corot said that he kept a copy of all his works in his eyes and in his heart. This remark sums up for us the essence of the artist's genius - his gift for seeing and for capturing the emotional quality of what he saw. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1795-1875) was one of the greatest artists of the 19th century. In the major museums of the world, people stand entranced before his silvery, poetic landscapes, his quiet, portraitlike studies of pensive women, the miraculously serene and tender renderings of nature and persons in his prints and lithographs. In this volume, a noted French art historian - aided by 92 magnificent illustrations, 40 in full color - tells the story of Corot's life and the development of his art.
