CAMILLE COROT. A Village Street: Dardagny

A Village Street: Dardagny. Artist: Camille Corot (French, Paris 1796-1875 Paris). Dimensions: 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 in. (34.3 x 24.1 cm). Date: 1852, 1857, or 1863.
Corot was a tireless traveler, and the extension of the network of French railroads in the 1850s widened the range of his summer journeys. In 1852, 1857, and 1863, he visited Dardagny, a small village near Geneva. This view, essentially unchanged today, was probably painted on Corot's first visit. It is an excellent example of his remarkable ability to derive a poetic scene from a prosaic site.
