The Harbor of La Rochelle

The Harbor of La Rochelle is an oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created in 1851.

It is held at the Yale University Art Gallery, in New Haven.

[1] It depicts the harbor of La Rochelle on the Bay of Biscay.

Although Corot was producing his renowned grey landscapes by 1851, this painting recalls his earlier style.

[1] It is notable for being a finished study that Corot chose to exhibit at the Paris Salon of 1852, as he usually preferred to exhibit compositions of religious or literary subjects.
