"The Velino Above the Cascade of Terni, " painted in 1826 using oil on paper laid on canvas, exemplifies Corot's ability to capture natural scenery with precision and depth. In "Souvenir of Terracina" (1864), another stunning work done with oil on canvas, Corot immortalizes the charm and tranquility found along Italy's coastline. His talent extended beyond traditional painting mediums as seen in "Landscape" (1864), where he used black & white chalks on paper to create a captivating scene.
