Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot Gallery
Danses virgiliennes
Vers 1855 - 1860
H. : 0,55 m. ; L. : 0,73 m.

Cette bacchanale s'inscrit dans une tradition du paysage historique, héritée de Poussin et de Claude Lorrain.
À partir des années 1850, Corot a peint des compositions lyriques de ce genre, dont l'atmosphère brumeuse et les lointains pâles annoncent certaines visions symbolistes.

Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796–1875)
Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot was a French landscape painter. He was a regular contributor to the Salon during his lifetime, and in 1846 was decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honour. Of the painters classed in the Barbizon school Corot will live the longest, and will continue to occupy the highest position.
