Cow in a Barn – (Jean Baptiste Camille Corot) Previous Next


Artist:

Size: 21 x 27 cm

Museum: The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, United States Of America)

Technique: Oil On Canvas

This study of a cow may be unique in the artist’s oeuvre. It might be a Breton cow or perhaps a Fribourg, both fairly widespread types. Corot is not often thought of as a painter of animals because he included them infrequently in his paintings. Yet when they do appear—in landscapes, mythological scenes, and even portraits—they evince a directness and sensitivity commensurate with his treatment of the human form.
