1825 -1875 · Reflection, crossing and liquid depth
Corot uses water to connect the planes: river, lake and pond reflect the sky, accommodate a crossing or open a distance between trees and horizon.
The water runs through all of Camille Corot's work. River, Swiss lake, Picardy pond or Ville-d'Avray basin allow him to work on depth, reflection and passage. In a river with a tower in the distance, the watercourse leads the eye towards an architectural landmark. The pond in Picardy narrows the space around the shore and the reflected sky. Lake Brienz opens up a larger alpine scale, where water, mountains and atmosphere respond to each other. The ford and the boats add a concrete action: the water is no longer just a surface, but an obstacle or a path. The water, mountain and atmosphere respond to each other. Lake Brienz opens up a larger alpine scale, where water, mountains and atmosphere respond to each other. The lake of Brienz opens up a larger alpine scale, where water, mountains and atmosphere respond to each other. The fords and boats add a concrete action: the water is no longer just a surface, but an obstacle or a path. The evenings on the lake gradually reduce details and accentuate the dark mirror. Corot avoids reflections perfectly symmetrical; a few values are enough to suggest movement and depth. In late memories, the location sometimes becomes less precise, but the logic of the water remains exact. The motif thus unites direct study, composition and memory. The selection "Rivers, lakes and ponds by Camille Corot" notably compares Rivière with a tower in the distance and Un étang en Picardie. His reading favors drawing.
Corot water does not copy the landscape: it simplifies it, extends it and indicates the path of the gaze.
