Life and work
The most comprehensive source on the artist is Gary Tinterow, Michael Pantazzi, and Vincent Pomarède, Corot (1996), an extensive and handsomely illustrated work that was published in conjunction with the retrospective exhibition commemorating the 200th anniversary of Corot’s birth. The book features a chronological catalog with essays on the artist’s development, as well as essays on forgeries and on Corot’s collectors. General studies of the artist’s life, work, and influence include Jean Leymarie, Corot (1966, reissued 1985; also published in French, 1966); Michael Clarke, Corot and the Art of Landscape (1991); Iain Gale, Corot (1994); and Vincent Pomarède and Gèrard de Wallens, Corot: Extraordinary Landscapes (1996).
Themes and criticism
In Peter Galassi, Corot in Italy: Open-Air Painting and the Classical-Landscape Tradition (1991), Corot’s pioneering work as a plein-air painter is explored. This topic is further examined in Philip Conisbee, Sarah Faunce, and Jeremy Strick, In the Light of Italy: Corot and Early Open-Air Painting (1996). Corot is placed in the context of French plein-air painters in Robert L. Herbert, Barbizon Revisited: Essay and Catalogue (1962).
