The Cathedral of Florence (Le Dome florentin)

Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, c. 1869/1870

This image depicts a low angle view of two tall trees with extended branches and foliage. The background shows distant hills and a silhouetted structure with a dome. The artwork uses dynamic and scratchy lines in an etching style, creating depth through cross-hatching and varied strokes. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of brown and black on a cream background. Swirling lines represent a cloudy sky above additional trees and the silhouette of a building in the distance.
