Interrupted Reading, 1870
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot that beautifully captures a moment of quiet contemplation. The artwork, measuring 92x65 cm, is housed in The Art Institute of Chicago and showcases Corot's mastery in depicting the delicate interplay between light and shadow. In this scene, we see a young woman engrossed in her reading, her face illuminated by the soft glow of natural light filtering through a nearby window. However, her concentration is momentarily interrupted as she looks up from her book, perhaps distracted by an unexpected sound or thought. Corot's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous brushstrokes that bring life to every element within the composition. From the intricate folds of the woman's dress to the carefully rendered textures of the surrounding furniture and books, each element contributes to creating a sense of tranquility and serenity. As one explores this piece further, it becomes apparent that "Interrupted Reading" not only serves as a testament to Corot's technical skill but also reflects his deep understanding of human emotion. Through subtle gestures and expressions captured on canvas, he invites viewers into an intimate moment shared between artist and subject. This remarkable work exemplifies Corot's contribution to French art during the 19th century. As part of the Barbizon school movement—a group focused on capturing nature realistically—Corot embraced both landscape painting and portraiture with equal finesse.
