Camille Corot: "Never lose the first impression which has moved you..."

In the 1860s, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875) became interested in photography, taking photos himself and becoming acquainted with many early photographers, which had the effect of suppressing his painting palette even more in sympathy with the monochromatic tones of photographs.

This had the result of making his paintings even less dramatic but somewhat more poetic, a result which caused some critics to cite a monotony in his later work.

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.
