Jean Baptiste Camille Corot

French School. Painter of landscapes and small figure pieces. About ninety of these are now in the Louvre.

LONDON, WALLACE COLLECTION

MACBETH AND THE WITCHES A landscape with tall shady trees on a bank rising to the right. In the left foreground are the small figures of the three witches standing close together; on the right Macbeth and Banquo. Exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1869.

GLASGOW

PASTORALE-SOUVENIR D’ITALIE An ideal landscape, with the bushy stem of a huge poplar rising in the centre, and another to the right; beyond, to the left, a lake from which the ridge of a hill slopes up to the right. In the arch-like space between the trees in the foreground three nymphs are dancing, and another approaching them; to the right, one reclining on an outspread rug; and to the left, a fantastic figure in a hairy girdle clanging cymbals.

 

  • Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. Twyla Tharp
The arts are fundamental to our humanity. They ennoble and inspire us—fostering creativity, goodness, and beauty. The arts help us express our values, build bridges between cultures, and bring us together regardless of ethnicity, religion, or age. When times are tough, art is salve for the ache.
