Did you know?
Corot was a pivotal figure who bridged the gap between traditional Neoclassical landscape painting and the budding Impressionist movement. His visits to the coast of Normandy, such as the port of Trouville, allowed him to experiment with the effects of light and atmosphere, which would deeply influence later generations of plein-air painters.
