Camille Corot | Paysages

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875) is a pivotal figure in landscape painting. In his long and productive life, he painted over 3,000 paintings. His work simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism.

Of him Claude Monet exclaimed in 1897, "There is only one master here - Corot. We are nothing compared to him, nothing".

Raffaello | La Madonna Sistina, 1513-1514

"La Madonna Sistina" è un dipinto a olio su tela (265x196 cm) di Raffaello, databile al 1513-1514 circa e conservato nella Gemäldegalerie di Dresda.

Insolito per Raffaello in quegli anni è il supporto su tela, che ha dato adito a varie ipotesi: secondo Rumohr l'opera era destinata anche ad essere usata come stendardo processionale. La datazione si basa su dati stilistici ed è in genere legata ai primi anni del pontificato di Leone X, prima dell'Estasi di Santa Cecilia.

Vasari testimonia come l'opera fosse stata dipinta per il convento di San Sisto a Piacenza, come conferma la presenza di due santi ivi particolarmente venerati.

Chen Yifei (1946-2005) | Music Player painting

Chen's works considered a unique combination of both Western and Eastern influences. Chen's style combines the realism associated with European art styles, with Eastern subject matter and themes close to the artist's history.

One such example of this unique blend is his painting Poppy which derives its content from a Tang dynasty song about a woman who solemnly questions her fate.

Camille Corot🎨, in full Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, French painter🎨, noted primarily for his landscapes, who inspired and to some extent anticipated the landscape painting of the Impressionists.

Corot’s (1796-1875) place in the history of 19th-century painting is an assured one. When he started painting, the landscape sketch was regarded primarily as raw material for more considered work and was of no great artistic consequence in itself.

Corot was one of the first to show that the sketch had qualities of vitality and spontaneity, a basic truth to nature that a more finished picture lacked.
