Summary "Corot" by Sidney Allnutt is a biography that delves into the life and work of the renowned French painter Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, who lived from 1796 to 1875. Written in the early 20th century, this book likely captures a period of growing appreciation for Corot's influence on landscape painting, particularly in the context of the Barbizon School and the shift from traditional classicism to more personal, emotive representations of nature. The book likely serves as a tribute to Corot's unique ability to convey the essence of the natural world through his distinctive style. The text explores Corot's artistic journey, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to his craft and his ability to see and capture the beauty of nature. It details his formative experiences, including his travels to Italy, where he developed his technique and vision, and how he remained true to his individual expression despite external criticisms. Corot is portrayed as a deeply generous and happy person, whose art was influenced by a rich emotional connection to the landscapes he painted. Allnutt emphasizes Corot's mastery of light and color, praising the spiritual quality of his work and its lasting impact on generations of artists. Ultimately, the book celebrates Corot not only as a great painter but also as a man of considerable character and integrity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
