T 3 work of the French artists of 1830, was largely influenced by Turner and Constable, the fimnders of modern landscape art. But Corot was also distinctively original, and struck out in a decidedly novel path of his own discovery, and he has in his turn had a great and far-reaching influence. His It]? Was singularly happy and con tented, and Pere Corot was a much-loved man by his many jrie nds. Singing to himself as he worked, generous to a degree, at peace with the world, he leavesa record of a beautiful character, pleasant to dwell upon. He was the artist poet of the morning and of the evering, the delightful painter of twilight, of rosy dawn and deny and he invested every landscape he produced with a romanticism and charm which are thoroughly wonderful.
