EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Baptiste Camille Corot's "Forest of Fontainebleau, 1834". The oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring an impressive 175.6x242.6 cm, is housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. While Corot primarily focused on landscapes in this painting, viewers of his time easily recognized the reclining woman in the foreground as Mary Magdalene. Her untamed hair and humble peasant attire, coupled with the presence of a deer in the background and her solitude amidst nature's wilderness, are traditional symbols associated with this revered saint. The forest itself exudes a sense of tranquility and utopian beauty. The wooded landscape stretches far into the distance, inviting contemplation and escape from everyday life. In this idyllic setting, one can imagine finding solace while leisurely reading a book or simply resting by the riverbank. Corot's skillful brushwork captures both the serenity and wildness inherent to nature. His attention to detail brings forth every nuance - from dappled sunlight filtering through leaves to the gentle flow of water down a stream. This remarkable artwork transports us to an Arcadian realm where humans coexist harmoniously with their surroundings. It serves as a testament to Corot's mastery as well as his ability to evoke emotions through his artistry.
