Nel frattempo, nella vita di Camille Corot
Tutta la vita1860s
An interest in photography
In the 1860s Corot became interested in photography, taking photos himself and becoming acquainted with many early photographers. The monochrome tones of photographs suppressed his palette even further, making his paintings less dramatic but somewhat more poetic.
1862–1863
Painting outdoors at Bussac-sur-Charente with Courbet
In 1862 and 1863 Corot and his friend Gustave Courbet went to paint outdoors at Bussac-sur-Charente, working with Hippolyte Pradelle and Louis-Augustin Auguin and forming the short-lived “Port-Berteau group”.
1865–1875
“Père Corot” of Parisian artists
In his final ten years Corot became the “Père (Father) Corot” of Parisian artistic circles, regarded with personal affection and acknowledged as one of the five or six greatest landscape painters the world had seen, along with Hobbema, Claude Lorrain, Turner and Constable.
