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.
During his first trip to Italy, which began in the autumn of 1825 and lasted for three years, Camille Corot painted the following locations:
- Rome: The city itself served as a primary subject during his stay.1
- The Campagna: Corot painted the countryside surrounding Rome.1
- Naples: He traveled to this region during his time in Italy.1
- Ischia: He also visited and painted this island.1
- Venice: Corot visited this city on his return journey to Paris.1
While Corot later painted locations such as Volterra, Florence, Pisa, and the Italian lake district, those works were produced during his second visit to Italy in 1834.1
