"La Rochelle - Quarry near the Port Entrance" is a landscape painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created during his visit to La Rochelle, a city on the Atlantic coast of France, in 1851. This work is one of Corot's plein-air paintings, a technique he frequently employed to capture the essence of natural light and atmosphere, which was a precursor to the Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a quarry scene with a view towards the entrance of the port of La Rochelle, showcasing Corot's skill in blending the realist tradition with the emerging Barbizon school's focus on nature.

In this painting, Corot demonstrates his mastery of subtle color gradations and his ability to convey the serene mood of the landscape. The composition is balanced with the inclusion of quarry workers and boats, which adds a human element to the natural setting. The soft, diffused light and the harmonious palette are characteristic of Corot's mature style, where he often explored the interplay between light and shadow.

"La Rochelle - Quarry near the Port Entrance" is significant as it illustrates Corot's transition from his earlier, more classical compositions to a freer, more atmospheric approach. This piece reflects his interest in capturing the transient effects of light and his dedication to painting en plein air, which would later influence the Impressionists. The work is held in high regard for its historical value in the context of 19th-century French landscape painting and for its contribution to the development of modern art.

The painting is part of a collection in a museum or private collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its technical and aesthetic qualities. It serves as an important example of Corot's work and his impact on the landscape genre.
