Camille Corot
Portrait de l'artiste, assis près d'un chevalet (“Portrait of the Artist, Seated Near an Easel”), oil on paper pasted on canvas by Camille Corot, 1825; in the Louvre, Paris.
Camille Corot never married. He remained committed to his art throughout his life, explicitly stating in 1826 that his desire to paint landscapes would prevent him from forming any serious attachments, including marriage. Romantic companionship played no part in his life, which he devoted entirely to painting.1
