| Description |  |
Claude Monet called Corot "the father of us all", for he may have been the most influential and prolific landscape painter of the nineteenth century. Here Corot established a firm composition of tree trunks, a meadow, and a distant diagonally sloping hillside, over which he lays a shimmering veil of sun-dappled foliage. This painting tells no story; Corot's subject is light, color, and the time-softened memory of charming forest enclosure.
