"The Boatmen of Mortefontaine" (French: "Les bateliers de Mortefontaine") is a renowned oil painting by the French landscape artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, created in 1865. This work is a quintessential example of Corot's mature style, which blends elements of realism with the poetic sensibility that would later influence the Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a serene scene of leisure, with boatmen resting by the tranquil waters of a pond in Mortefontaine, a village north of Paris that was a favored spot for Corot.

Measuring 89 cm by 117 cm, the painting is noted for its harmonious composition, subtle interplay of light and shadow, and the delicate rendering of the natural environment. Corot's use of a restrained palette emphasizes the calm atmosphere, while his loose brushwork prefigures the techniques that would become hallmarks of Impressionist painting. The figures of the boatmen are integrated into the landscape, suggesting a sense of harmony between humans and nature.

"The Boatmen of Mortefontaine" is held in high esteem for its contribution to the development of landscape painting in the 19th century. It is often highlighted for its influence on the subsequent generation of artists who sought to capture the ephemeral qualities of light and atmosphere. Today, the painting is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance in the canon of French art.
