Camille Corot, 1865 - The Banks of the Seine at Conflans - fine art print

Artwork specifications by the museum (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

In 1868, about the time this work was painted, the aspiring artist Odilon Redon noted Corot’s advice "to place an unknown next to a known" in his compositions. That approach to picture-making is evident in this scene of workers, which has a ring of familiarity although the precise labor depicted resists identification. It is replete with details, such as the fruit on the tree at the center and the lettering on the sign at the top right, that favor painterly qualities over legibility. Yet the painting appears to be far more grounded in observation than the landscapes Corot typically conjured in his later years.
