Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, French, Italian, 1796 to 1875, oil painting on canvas depicting a moonlit evening forest landscape. Signed lower right. Framed. Jean Baptiste Camille Corot was a French painter, draftsman and engraver, one of the main landscape painters of the Romantic era, who influenced the Impressionists. Sketches by Corot are valued almost as highly as finished paintings. He was blessed with deep feeling for nature, instinctive taste and a large allowance from his family. At twenty-nine he went to Italy and immediately started painting the best landscapes of his career. One of a kind artwork.
