"Fontainebleau: The Road to Chailly" (French: "Route de Chailly, Forêt de Fontainebleau") is an oil on canvas painting by the French landscape artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created in 1865. The painting is one of Corot's later works, showcasing his mature style that masterfully blends elements of realism with the poetic sensibility that would later influence the Impressionist movement. Measuring 54 x 65 cm, the artwork is part of a series of paintings by Corot that depict the Forest of Fontainebleau, a locale that attracted numerous artists of the Barbizon school, with whom Corot was associated.

In "Fontainebleau: The Road to Chailly," Corot captures the serene atmosphere of the forest with a soft palette and harmonious composition. The scene is bathed in a diffused light, characteristic of Corot's landscapes, which imbues the painting with a sense of tranquility and timelessness. The work is structured around the play of light and shadow, with the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees and illuminating the road that leads to the village of Chailly-en-Bière.

Corot's technique in this painting reflects his approach to plein air painting, where he would often sketch outdoors and refine his compositions in the studio. The brushwork is loose and expressive, allowing the texture of the canvas to contribute to the overall effect. This method of painting not only captures the fleeting effects of light but also conveys the emotional response of the artist to the landscape before him.

"Fontainebleau: The Road to Chailly" is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of landscape painting in the 19th century. It exemplifies Corot's influence on the subsequent generation of artists, particularly the Impressionists, who sought to capture the ephemeral qualities of light and atmosphere in their works. The painting is currently housed in a prominent museum collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and beauty.
