"One day you look out and the audience consists of 65,000 people. It's like looking in the mirror and one day you realise you've gone grey."

What I like so much about Corot is that he can say everything with a bit of tree; and it was Corot himself that I found [back] in the museum of Naples - in the simplicity of the work of Pompeii and the Egyptians. These priestesses in their silver-grey tunics are just like Corot's nymphs.
