Italian Landscape (recto); Rocks and foliage (verso)

Camille Corot French

Not on view

The spare linearity of this landscape is enlivened by the density of the rocky crevice and flowing cascade at center. In subject, style, and scale, the drawing relates to others the artist made near Papigno about sixty miles north of Rome around 1826–27. Corot spent three years in Italy (1825‒1827) and produced over two hundred drawings of the region around the Italian capital.
