The Cathedral of Florence (Le Dome florentin)

Executed in loose, uneven lines resembling quick strokes, the etching features a scratchy texture, likely achieved by applying strong pressure with a tool, giving the work a sketchy, study-like quality.

Created circa 1870 by Corot, a pivotal figure in 19th-century landscape art, bridging Neo-Classical and early Impressionist approaches.

Part of Corot’s extensive body of prints and paintings, this etching reflects his characteristic balance of structured composition and emphasis on atmospheric light.
