French painter of Italian landscapes (1796-1875)
Source: WordNetWhat I like so much about Corot is that he can say everything with a bit of tree; and it was Corot himself that I found [back] in the museum of Naples – in the simplicity of the work of Pompeii and the Egyptians. These priestesses in their silver-grey tunics are just like Corot's nymphs. Pierre-Auguste Renoir
I believe Corot painted a tree better that any of us, but still I find him superior in his figures. Edgar Degas
He [ Corot ] is always the strongest, he has foreseen everything. Edgar Degas
He Corot was always surrounded by a crowd of fools and I didn't want to get caught up in it. I admired him from a distance. Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Don't you think your Corot [to Guilemet the painter] is a little short on temperament? I'm painting a portrait of Vallabreque; the highlight on the nose is pure vermilion. Paul Cézanne
Corot spoiled the 'étude' [study] we admired so much when we saw it at his home, by redoing it in the studio. Berthe Morisot
