Although the paintings contained in this book are a relatively little-known portion of this French painter's oeuvre, they were of great importance to the founders of modern painting, including Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, and Georges Braque. This publication emphasizes their significance and features more than forty paintings by Corot - from his single-figured busts, full-length nudes, and his allegorical series devoted to the model in the studio.
