In art, Korot was practically self-taught. Not having received professional education, he developed his artistic abilities simply because he liked to travel and reproduce on canvas and paper his impressions of the places he saw.
Approximately so spoke about Coro one of his closest friends – the artist Charles Francois Dobigny. But this, of course, is not true: Kopo worked very hard to achieve the amazing skill in the landscape that made him famous, and, apparently, it was because of the love of travel that the artist chose a genre that was not favored by academic circles.
In the middle of the XIX century in Paris, a group of artists united by a love of nature. Each summer they left Paris and went to the small village of Barbizon, where they wrote their endless sketches. Koro became friends and became friends with some of them and often went to visit Barbizon, invariably bringing from there his beautiful landscapes.
The landscape in Arles du Nord was started in the open air during a trip to the north-east of France, undertaken to collect material; later it was finished in the workshop. This product is a mature master. His composition speaks of the close acquaintance of Corot with the work of Monet and, of course, the influence of Dobigny, with whom the artist was bound by a strong friendship. By the middle of the century, Corot was already a recognized landscape painter.
