Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796 – 1875) was a French Realist painter. He is considered the first great French landscape painter. Corot was member of the Barbizon School of France.
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 Impressionists and the plein-air technique.
Through he represented nature realistically, he did not idealize the peasant or the labors of agriculture in the manner of Millet and Gustave Courbet, and was uninvolved in ideological controversy. [1]
