27 Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot
(French, 1796-1875)
A Picnic In A Clearing, 1857/later printing. Cliché-verre,
dated and signed in image lower left and lower right, 17.1 x
22.1cm (paper). Minor chips to corners, uneven margins. Ref:
Melot #C65.
Cliché-verre
is a technique that combines aspects of printmaking and photography.
Developed around 1839, this process begins with a glass plate
on which an artist either paints or scratches a design on a prepared
ground. The glass plate is then treated as a negative and placed
on top of light-sensitive paper and exposed to the sun (or light).
Corot and other artists of the Barbizon school were the first,
and most prolific, experimenters with this technique.
