Though he likely painted this work in his studio, Corot drew from his trips to Italy in creating this timeless, bucolic, and peaceful landscape. Evoking the mythical Arcadia, the artist delineates meadow, city, bay, and sky in a well-thought-out-composition. The details show the constant changes in nature, while the warm tones, stretched shadows, and layered sky capture a late afternoon in summer. A few vibrant brushstrokes are enough to suggest the rustling leaves and the boat sails in the distance.
