对这位十九世纪的**风景画大师创作的非常有趣和引人深思的人像作品的一次新评价。

卡米尔•柯罗（Camille Corot（1796-1875））所画的女人读书，做梦和凝视看画者，传达出一种独立的精神和她们内心生活的感觉。柯罗对色彩的处理以及应用在女性外表上的灵巧，细腻的触感产生了静谧而威严的画作。尽管这些人物画只占他作品中相对较小且鲜为人知的部分，但对于诸如保罗•塞尚，帕勃罗•毕加索和乔治•布拉克等现代主义绘画的创始人而言，它们却非常重要。本出版物涵盖了柯罗创作的40幅画作——从19世纪40年代的半身像和全身像到19世纪60年代的裸体画，以及他以画室中的模特为对象创作的寓言系列。该领域的**专家撰写的文章论及了柯罗欠以前的老师的债以及他的画对19世纪和20世纪绘画的影响，他的肖像作品与他更**的风景画创作的关系，以及他对艺术家模特不断变化的社会地位的回应，以及摄影在第二帝国和第三共和国初期的艺术实践中的介入。

A new appraisal of intriguing and meditative figural works by one of the 19th century’s great masters of landscape

The women painted by Camille Corot (1796–1875) read, dream, and gaze at the viewer, conveying an independent spirit and a sense of their inner lives. Corot’s handling of color and his deft, delicate touch applied to the female form resulted in pictures of quiet majesty. Although these figural paintings constitute a relatively small and little-known portion of his oeuvre, they were of great importance for the founders of modernist painting, such as Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, and Georges Braque.

This publication encompasses some forty paintings by Corot—from the single-figure bust and full-length images of the 1840s through the 1860s nudes and his allegorical series devoted to the model in the studio. Essays by leading experts in the field address Corot’s debt to the old masters and the impact of his pictures on both 19th- and 20th-century painting, the relationship of his figural work to his more famous landscape practice, his response to the shifting social position of artists’ models, and the incursion of photography into artistic practice in the Second Empire and early Third Republic.
