Souvenir de Mortefontaine (Recollection of Mortefontaine) is an 1864 oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. It is a scene of tranquillity: a woman and children quietly enjoying themselves by a glass-flat tree-flanked lake.Generally acknowledged as one of his masterpieces it is among the most successful of Corot’s later more poetic works. The painting captures an idealized scene while still drawing from the real world.
