The painter Camille Corot (1796 - 1875)
came to Etretat.

Corot is best known as a landscape painter,
but he is also the author of many portraits (close or fantasy figures).
He works quickly, with quick and broad strokes, and plays with light.
Corot was born and died in Paris
but he also lived in Ville d'Avray between Paris and Versailles.
His Ville d Avray home still exisits.
Nathalia Brodskaya from the Hermitage Museum is a Corot expert.
