In the 1820s, Corot visited Italy to study classical landscape painting. But he did not confine his studies to the old masters. In the Sabine Hills north of Rome, he made numerous drawings and oil studies of the surroundings. It was here that he made this paintings of red sandstone cliffs, the Rocce Rosse just outside the village of Cività Castellana. Corot’s Italian sketches are early examples of the plein-air painting that would have a seminal influence on French19th century landscape painting.
