Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (July 16, 1796 – February 22, 1875) was a French landscape painter and printmaker in etching.
Popular culture
Two of Corot's works are featured and play an important role in the plot of the French film L'Heure d'été (English title Summer Hours). The film was produced by the Musee d'Orsay, and the two works were lent by the museum for the making of the film.
There is a street named Rue Corot on Île des Sœurs, Quebec, named for the artist.
