Neapolitan Countryside
Step into the Italian countryside with Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, whose loose, breezy brushwork here practically invented the vibe for the Impressionists. A lone figure takes a break with a white goat in the foreground, dwarfed by tall, reaching trees that frame a hazy, golden view of the distant hills. Fun fact: Corot was so incredibly generous that he often let struggling artist friends sign his name to their work so they could pay the bills, creating a nightmare for art authenticators today!
