Corot on Loan to The Brooklyn Museum

October 1, 2025
We are pleased to lend two early paintings of Venice by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot to the exhibition Monet and Venice at The Brooklyn Museum (October 11, 2025-February 1, 2026).  Both Corot pictures, painted in 1828 and 1834, depict an on-site view of the Campo della Carità looking towards the Duomo della Salute.  In Monet’s own words, he once stated: “There is only one master here-Corot.  We are nothing compared to him, nothing.”
