#AGLG_OnThisDay
‘All I really want to do in life… is to paint landscapes. This firm resolve will stop me forming any serious attachments. That is to say, I shall not get married.’
– Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot.
On July 17th, 1796, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot was born in Paris.
A pioneer of 19th-century French landscape painting, he became known for his luminous, atmospheric scenes. Trained under classical artists and influenced by his time in Italy, Corot bridged academic tradition with early Impressionism. Admired by painters like Pissarro and Morisot, he produced over 3,000 works and even experimented with photography.
To mark his birthday, we present 'Valley with Grazing Goats (Sunrise)', 1868, from the Paris Collection of the A. G. Leventis Gallery.
