Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot
1796 – 1875
French painter. His early training, from 1822 onwards, was with the classicising landscape painters Michallon and Bertin, and in 1825 he went to Italy, via Switzerland, for two years. He spent most of his time in and around Rome, where he developed, through painting on the spot, his sensitive treatment of light, form and distance in terms of tonal values rather than by colour and drawing.
