Om målningen

Camille Corot painted Landscape around 1872; it belongs to the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. He made it following a visit to Les Landes, south of Bordeaux, which explains its former title, Souvenir de Les Landes. Corot was associated with the Barbizon School, admired by painters of the Hague School. Artists had settled in Barbizon from around 1840, painting outside and living among rural people. This canvas recalls the region he had visited rather than retaining its name as the present title of the work.

Med museets egna ord

Corot belonged to the Barbizon School, which was so widely admired by Hague School artists. Around 1840 several artists settled in the village of Barbizon. They worked en plein air (in the open air) and lived among the peasants. Corot made this painting after a trip to Les Landes, a region south of Bordeaux. It was thus formerly entitled Souvenir de Les Landes.
