"Souvenir of Ville d'Avray" is an oil on canvas painting by the French landscape artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created in 1864. The work is renowned for its poetic interpretation of the natural world and exemplifies Corot's mature style, where he combines a keen observation of nature with a sense of lyrical melancholy. Measuring 65.4 cm × 81.3 cm, the painting depicts a serene landscape scene from Ville d'Avray, a suburban area west of Paris that Corot frequently visited and where he maintained a studio.

The composition of "Souvenir of Ville d'Avray" features a pond surrounded by lush trees and foliage, with a small figure of a woman, often identified as Corot's model, seated in the foreground. This figure adds a human element to the landscape, creating a narrative that invites viewers to reflect on the relationship between humanity and nature. The painting is characterized by its soft, diffused light and subtle gradations of tone, which contribute to the overall tranquil and dreamlike atmosphere.

Corot's work bridges the gap between the neoclassical tradition of landscape painting and the emerging Impressionist movement. While he was respected by the academic art establishment, his innovative approach to capturing light and atmosphere also had a profound influence on the Impressionists. "Souvenir of Ville d'Avray" is a testament to Corot's pivotal role in the evolution of landscape painting and his enduring legacy in the history of art.

The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be admired for its timeless beauty and its embodiment of Corot's artistic vision. "Souvenir of Ville d'Avray" remains a significant work in the study of 19th-century French art, celebrated for its harmonious blend of realism and poetic sensibility.
