As the painter describes his upbringing and artistic method, a survey is presented of over 100 of Corot's works, along with those of his chief influences and contemporaries. Several of his famous canvases are juxtaposed with their precedents. The program chronicles the artist's years in Italy, crowned by his masterpiece Marietta, and his return to France, highlighting Corot's exploration of remembrance as a theme, his portraits, the relationship between painting outdoors and working in the studio, and his friendships with other painters.
