“Wooded Plateau, Fontainebleau,” created by Camille Corot between 1835 and 1840, is an exemplar of the Realism art movement. This landscape artwork measures 15.9 by 24.8 centimeters and is presently located in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene and naturalistic scene, typical of Corot’s realistic rendering of landscapes. The composition includes a densely wooded area, gently rolling terrain, and a distant horizon under a cloudy sky, suggesting an impending change in weather. The use of muted tones and careful brushwork captures the tranquility and subtle beauty of the natural environment.
