Jean Baptiste Camille Corot Forest of Fontainebleau Art Print
Brandywine General Store
Archival quality art print of Forest of Fontainebleau, painted in oil on canvas in 1846 by French Barbizon master Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. Based on sketches made in the ancient forest just south of Paris, the scene opens onto a sun-dappled pastoral landscape — more open meadow than dense woodland, with towering trees framing broad pastureland and a rocky creek. A lone cow drinks from the water's edge as the rest of the herd moves in to join her, large stones scattered throughout the creek bed and grassland. In 1872, Corot donated this painting to a charity auction to support fellow artist Auguste Anastasi, who had gone blind and could no longer paint. A generous act that adds a poignant human story to an already beautiful work. Country Decor Art Print #167
