Bib 4—oil On Cardboard—françois Corbellini—resting Among The Trees—corsica—1955

Oil on canvas mounted on heavy cardboard by François Corbellini, depicting a scene of rest in the woods within a Corsican landscape bathed in soft, Mediterranean light.

Through this intimate and peaceful composition, Corbellini sensitively captures the atmosphere of the Corsican woods and the tranquility of the island’s inland landscapes. The fluid rendering of light and the warm color palette reflect the artist’s deep attachment to Corsican nature, which inspires his entire body of work.

Through his watercolors and illustrations, François Corbellini was one of the ambassadors of Corsica’s burgeoning tourism industry. The island’s landscapes served as a constant source of inspiration and established him as one of the leading figures of the Ajaccio School in the early 20th century.

A student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Corbellini was trained by Jean-Léon Gérôme and Gustave Moreau, whose teachings had a lasting influence on his approach to color and light.
