Group of Trees, 1858. Creator: Jean Baptiste Camille Corot (French, 1796-1875)
Group of Trees, 1858. The purest expression of the pastoral in French landscape in the mid 19th century may be found in the work of Corot. In the cliche-verre prints that he created between 1854 and 1874, Corot took advantage of the spontaneity of this simple process. Drawing directly on a glass plate coated with collodion, and then printing it like a photographic negative, Corot developed a loose, free style of draftsmanship that was unparalleled in his painting. Prints such as these were made purely for his own pleasure and were not intended for sale. Graceful, fluid lines flow from tree to tree and from tree to land, blending into each other without interruption, suggesting a harmony uniting all of nature

EDITORS COMMENTS
Group of Trees, 1858. Creator: Jean Baptiste Camille Corot (French, 1796-1875) In this print by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, we are transported to the serene beauty of a French landscape in the mid-19th century. Titled 'Group of Trees, ' this artwork showcases Corot's mastery in capturing the essence of pastoral scenes. Corot experimented with cliche-verre prints between 1854 and 1874, using a unique process that allowed him to express his creativity spontaneously. Drawing directly on a glass plate coated with collodion and printing it like a photographic negative, he achieved an unmatched freedom in his draftsmanship. The result is evident in this print - graceful lines flow effortlessly from tree to tree and seamlessly blend into the surrounding land. The harmony depicted here suggests an inherent connection between all elements of nature. It is important to note that these prints were created solely for Corot's personal pleasure and not intended for sale. They serve as a testament to his artistic exploration and dedication to capturing the purest form of pastoral landscapes. This particular piece belongs to The Cleveland Museum of Art collection and has been preserved by Heritage Art/Heritage Images. It stands as a remarkable example of Corot's contribution to French heritage art during the 19th century.
