Dating from c.1865-70, Pâturage dans les marais was painted during one of the most creative and successful periods in the artist's career. During this five year period, Corot perfected the misty, often idyllic pastoral landscapes for which he became so revered. Corot was considered the leading landscape painter of the time, and his works not only exemplifies his innate ability to capture his local environs, but his capability of poetically translating onto canvas the atmospheric effects of any given time of day.
