Camille Corot

[MANE...@ctrvax.vanderbilt.edu]

I was wondering if anyone knew where one might purchase poster arts
of Cammile Corot. For those (minorities) who do not know who he was,
Corot was an early impressionist artist, or was it post-impressionist?
Well, anyway, he was from France so it is French.

Thanks

I have seen on the cover of a paperback edition of Faust
a lithograph (I think) of Mephistopheles flying over a cityscape.
I must own a copy of this. Does anyone have any clues as to how
I can procure a copy of this (a hanging print would be the ultimate)
or where I should start looking? I have checked a few minor
dealers in the malls around here (S.C. upstate) and have had no luck.

Impressionism didn't really 'flourish' until the late 19th-century.

Jean Baptise-Camille Corot lived from 1796-1875, and he did many "European
Realist" works in both France and Italy. Some of his works (mostly all
landscapes) seem to anticipate Impressionism and Cubism, but otherwise they
pretty much belong to the more or less realistic/picturesque style of the
"School of Barbizon" of which he was a part of.
