Dressed in rustic Italian costume or nude on a grassy plain, rendered with a sophisticated use of color and a deft, delicate touch, Corot’s women convey a mysterious sense of their inner lives. Corot: Women features 44 paintings created between the 1840s and the early 1870s: nudes, individual figures in costumes, and an allegorical series of the model in the studio. The National Gallery of Art is the only venue for Corot: Women, on view from September 9 through December 31, 2018. “Recognized as a great master of landscape painting, Corot is among the best represented artists in the Gallery’s collection of 19th-century French art. This unique exhibition presents an opportunity to examine a smaller and less well-known aspect of his career,” said Earl A. Powell III, director, National Gallery of Art. “We are grateful to The Edwin L. Cox Exhibition Fund, as well as Leonard and Elaine Silverstein, who helped to make this exhibition possible.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
