From Publishers Weekly
The quintessential painter of poetic landscapes, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot is often pegged as the direct precursor of the impressionists, or as the last neoclassicist. A more complex sense of the great French innovator is conveyed in this beautiful catalogue of a major retrospective at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Special attention is given to Corot's dramatic history paintings, which made his reputation in the 1840s. He also emerges as an inventive figurative painter who reworked certain recurrent themes, such as oddly manipulated views or figures directly facing the spectator, disconcertingly reversing the roles of the observer and the observed. An interesting essay investigates the problem of hundreds of forgeries, complicated by Corot's peculiar habit of authenticating, retouching or signing spurious copies of his works. This revelatory study gives us the many sides of an artist who ultimately eludes attempts to decode his works. The authors are curators, respectively, at the Metropolitan, the National Gallery of Canada and the Louvre.

From Library Journal
This magnificent scholarly exhibition catalog, which accompanies a retrospective commemorating the bicentennial of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's birth, was compiled by leading curators at the host museums in Paris, New York, and Ottawa. Each author focuses insightfully on a chronological period in Corot's life and oeuvre, relating current Corot scholarship to the earliest work of Alfred Robaut and others. Vincent Pomarede (paintings, Musee du Louvre) and Michael Pantazzi (European paintings, National Gallery of Canada) also contributed two fascinating essays dealing with Corot forgeries and collectors, respectively. The beautiful reproductions of works exhibited illustrate the breadth of Corot's output, and black-and-white illustrations relate possible sources or complementary works. An essential purchase for academic and special libraries and strongly recommended for public libraries with large art holdings.?P. Steven Thomas, Illinois State Univ. Lib., Normal
