COROT, JEAN-BAPTISTE CAMILLE (1796—1875), French landscape
painter, was born in Paris, in a house on the Quai by the rue du Bac,
now demolished, on the 26th of July 1796. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s
family were well-to-do bourgeois people, and whatever may have been the
experience of some of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s painteric colleagues,
he never, throughout Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s life, felt the want
of money. He was educated at Rouen and was afterwards apprenticed to a
draper, but hated commercial life and despised what he called its
“business tricks,” yet he faithfully remained in it until he was
twenty-six, when Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s father at last consented
to Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s adopting the profession of art. Corot
learned little from Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s masters. He visited
Italy on three occasions: two of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s Roman
studies are now in the Louvre. He was a regular contributor to the Salon
during Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s lifetime, and in 1846 was decorated
with the cross of the Legion of Honour. He was promoted to be officer in
1867. Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s many friends considered nevertheless
that he was officially neglected, and in 1874, only a short time before
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s death, they presented him with a gold
medal. He died in Paris, on the 22nd of February 1875, and was buried at
Père Lachaise.
