Jean Baptiste Camille Corot [1796-1875] French painter, representative of realism. His artistic ouvre included mainly landscapes, as well as portraits and historical scenes. Corot's first professional painting lessons were given by: Achille Etna Michallon and Jean Victor Bertin. From 1807 to 1812 he attended the Lycée in Rouen. At the age of 29, he stayed in Italy, where he studied the old masters. He visited Rome, Venice and Naples, and returned to Italy twice more in 1834 and 1843. The trip resulted in more than 200 drawings and 150 paintings.

After returning to France, Corot settled in Paris, constantly traveling around the country in search of inspiration for his paintings. He exhibited his first work at the Paris Salon in 1827 and from 1848 he had already become a member of the jury. By the end of his life the painter was held in high esteem and had achieved considerable material success. According to his contemporaries, he was remarkable for his generosity in supporting the poor and budding artists. At the same time he was a modest, apolitical and fulfilled man. Among his disciples and painters who officially recognized themselves as continuing his artistic legacy were Camille Pissaro, Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret and Berthe Morisot.
