The artwork titled “Orleans, View from a Window Overlooking the Saint Peterne Tower” is an oil on canvas painting created by Camille Corot around 1830. This piece belongs to the Realism art movement and falls under the cityscape genre. It is currently housed at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg in Strasbourg, France.
The artwork offers a view from a window, capturing an urban scene dominated by the Saint Peterne Tower in the background. The tower rises above the horizon with architectural prominence, framed by lush trees that add a sense of depth and vibrancy to the composition. The foreground features various rooftops and chimneys, rendered with attentive detail and a palette of earthy tones. The overall mood of the scene evokes a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, reflecting Corot’s realistic approach and his keen observation of the natural and built environment.
