Corot and Daubigny.

We readily associate the names o! Corot and Daubigny, and with reason. Notwithstanding the twenty years’ seniority of the former artist, they were very intimate friends, sharing many similar aspirations in art, while each still preserved his distinct individuality. Corot was more subjective, tingeing his works with his own peculiar poetic fancy. Daubigny, on the other hand, gave himself up more to the impression of the moment, endeavoring to express the local qualities of form and color in all their brilliancy and freshness.
