Description   

Jean Joseph-Xavier Bidauld painted this landscape while on a five-year sojourn in Italy. Hearing his name, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot was moved to exclaim : "Bidauld! Ah! But gently, now, he wasn't just anybody, he was at times truly a master, and one of the finest. Certain of his small canvases are masterpieces, and full of fine example and sound counsel for all of us, young and old alike."
