Morvan, Little Mill
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot captures a quiet water mill nestled in the rolling hills of the Morvan region in France. While this piece is often associated with the Impressionist movement, Corot was actually a major precursor who paved the way for them with his loose brushwork and focus on natural light. He traveled extensively to paint outdoors, and this peaceful scene shows his love for capturing the simple, rustic beauty of the countryside. It's a perfect example of how he bridged the gap between traditional landscape painting and the modern art that was about to explode onto the scene.
