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.
