'''Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot''' (1796 – 1875) was a [[French]] [[Realism|Realist]] [[painter]]. Corot was member of the Barbizon School of France. He is considered the first great French [[landscape]] painter. ''[[Edgar Degas]] proclaimed Corot was member of the Barbizon School of Francean even greater figure painter than a landscapist. '' [http://www.artchive.com/artchive/C/corot.html] Corot's students included [[Alfred Sisley]], [[Camille Pissarro]], and [[Berthe Morisot]].
Corot followed the advise of his teacher Achille-Etna Michallon ''"to reproduce as scrupulously as possible what I saw in front of me"''. His landscapes anticipated those of the [[Impressionism|Impressionists]] and the ''plein-air'' technique.
