Creator Name: Corot, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Creator Qualifier: after Creator Nationality: European; French Creator Role: Artist Creator Dates/Places: 1796 - 1875 Biography: Camille Corot's earlier biographers presented him as a naive artist separated from commercial concerns who painted whatever pleased him in the French countryside and from his own emotions. For these writers his importance lay in his loosely painted, atmospheric landscapes, for which later modernists called him the precursor to impressionism. This conception of the artist has undergone significant revision with recent scholarship. Corot never seemed to accept the impressionists' more radical work, especially their enthusiasm for contemporary urban and suburban themes. He represented timeless, rural views disconnected from the industrialization and modernization of nineteenth-century France.Following his father in the clothing trade, Corot worked for eight years before the death of his younger sister in 1821 provided him with the additional income (her annual allowance) to enable him to devote himself to painting. In 1822 he began to study with the landscape painter Achille-Etna Michallo Gender: M Creator Birth Place: Paris, 17 July 1796 Creator Death Place: Paris, 22 February 1875 Creator Name-CRT: Jean Baptiste Camille Corot Title: Woman Meditating Title Type: Primary View: Full View Creation Start Date: 1868 Creation End Date: 1875 Creation Date: after 1868 Object Type: Paintings Materials and Techniques: oil on fabric Dimensions: Unframed: 59.4cm x 42.9cm AMICA Contributor: The Cleveland Museum of Art Owner Location: Cleveland, Ohio, USA ID Number: 1949.189 Credit Line: Gift of the Hanna Fund Rights: http://www.clemusart.com/museum/disclaim2.html Provenance: Probably Gottfried Tanner, Bahnhofstrasse 39, Zürich.
