Camille Corot, 1839 - Landscape with Lake and Boatman - fine art print

Original artwork specifications from The J. Paul Getty Museum (© - The J. Paul Getty Museum - www.getty.edu)

After a long day, a solitary boatman poles his boat ashore across the water's placid surface. An array of colors--citron, lavender, turquoise, and rose--fills the sky as the sun slowly sets. Light reflects against the trees, turning the edges and foliage yellow-orange; the pool of water shimmers with reflections. The dramatically colored backlighting and the tiny, lone man create a sense of melancholy and longing that appealed to the Romantic critics of the time.

Composing from memories and from drawings made during his travels in Italy, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot painted this view for the Paris Salon of 1839. It may be a pendant to Italian Landscape, which he painted the same year. Until they were offered to the Getty Museum in 1984, scholars thought both paintings were lost. The two paintings depict ideal Italian views that contrast different times of day, emulating the works of Corot's seventeenth-century countryman Claude Lorrain.

For our Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the artwork on the surface of the white-primed aluminum composite.

Colors are bright and luminous, the fine details of the print appear crisp, and you can literally notice the matte appearance of the fine art print. This direct print on aluminium is one of the most popular entry-level products and is a truly contemporary way to display art prints, since it puts the viewer’s focus on the artwork.
