(Paris, 1796, 1875) French painter. After training for two years with landscape painters as Michallon and Bertin, began his career by painting outdoors, heavily influenced by the Italian style. His early works, such as The Bridge of Narni are characterized by a luminous pale and subtle poetic expressiveness. He is an usual at Autumn Salons. In early 1830 he painted more modest subject, but without detracting from the landscape or portrait (Rider's white horse, 1833). He returned to Italy in 1843, after which time he was qualifying his palette to capture lyricism with soft texture and bright dawns, in a kind of romanticism calm and rested whose technique stroke short announces from impressionism (Dance nymphs , 1850). In this last stage, Corot painting reached a supreme balance between idealism and realism, which resulted in masterpieces such as Woman With a Pearl Earring (1868-1870) or Woman in Blue (1874).
