5 COROT, JEAN BAPTISTE CAMILLE 1796-1875 LE LAC - In the centre of the picture by the water's edge rises a cluster of trees, brown in tone. Standing a little way in the water is a brown cow, other cows are seen among the trees to the right, and a man is observed on the low bank to the left. Away beyond stretches the broad lake to a line of low distant hills, along which a bright light travels. The scene in its powerful rendering of nature vibrates throughout with the most sensitive lights and tenderly opposing shadows. This picture is described and illustrated in Vol. III, No. 1621, pages 130 and 131, of A. Robaut's work on Corot; also in the November No. 1906, of the International Studio. Illustrated in the Burlington Magazine of September, 1907, and mentioned in the accompanying article by C. J. Holmes, also described and illustrated, "Temple's Examples of French art," pages 32 and 33. Etched by Chauvel and Bracquemond. Exhibited: Salon of 1861, No. 696. Exhibited: Ecole des Beaux Arts, 1875, No. 11. 5 [end of page 5]
