  • Introduction
    A pivotal figure in landscape painting, his vast output simultaneously referenced the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipated the plein-air innovations of Impressionism.
  • Lead section
    His family were bourgeois people-his father was a wig maker and his mother, Marie-Françoise Corot, a milliner-and unlike the experience of some of his artistic colleagues, throughout his life he never felt the want of money, as his parents made good investments and ran their businesses well.
