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. [2]
