Vintage Art Print Souvenir de Mortefontaine Recollection of Mortefontaine Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot Framed Paysage French Home Decor
Souvenir de Mortefontaine (Recollection of Mortefontaine) is an oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created in 1864. It is a scene of tranquillity: a woman and children quietly enjoying themselves by a glass-flat, tree-flanked lake.
Generally acknowledged as one of his masterpieces, it is among the most successful of Corot's works. The painting captures an idealized scene while still drawing from the real world.
Souvenir de Mortefontaine verges on Impressionistic, with the lake and landscape captured by broad strokes and Corot's careful attention to the play of light within the scene, though the brushwork is precise and the painting has a more muted palette
