"Rocks at Civita Castellana" is a landscape painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created during his first trip to Italy between 1825 and 1828. This work is part of Corot's early exploration of plein air painting, a practice that would become a hallmark of his style and later influence the Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a rugged and serene countryside scene near the town of Civita Castellana, located north of Rome in the Lazio region of Italy.

Corot's composition captures the natural beauty and geological features of the area, characterized by its tufa rock formations and verdant vegetation. The artist's use of light and shadow, combined with a muted, earthy palette, conveys the tranquil atmosphere of the Italian landscape. His brushwork varies from precise detailing in the rocks and foliage to softer, more suggestive strokes in the sky and background elements, showcasing his technical versatility and his transition from neoclassical influences to a more naturalistic approach.

"Rocks at Civita Castellana" is significant for its reflection of Corot's direct observation of nature, a method that was somewhat innovative at the time and contrasted with the studio-bound practices of many of his contemporaries. The painting not only exemplifies Corot's skill in rendering the physical characteristics of a specific locale but also captures the ephemeral qualities of light and atmosphere that would become central to his later works.

The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of landscape painting in the 19th century and is considered an important piece within Corot's oeuvre. It is frequently studied for its influence on the plein air techniques of later artists and for its role in the evolution of landscape painting from classical idealization to impressionistic interpretation. "Rocks at Civita Castellana" remains an exemplary work that continues to inspire appreciation for Corot's artistic legacy and the natural world he so skillfully depicted.
