"The Ferryman" (circa 1865) is an evocative landscape painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, a leading figure of the Barbizon school known for his pivotal role in landscape painting and his influence on the Impressionist movement. This work, measuring 33.7 x 41.9 cm, is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a fine example of Corot's mature style, which often blends a realistic observation of nature with a poetic sensibility.

In "The Ferryman," Corot depicts a serene natural scene where a ferryman is seen guiding his boat across a calm river, likely inspired by the French countryside. The composition is characterized by a harmonious interplay of light and shadow, a subdued palette, and a masterful rendering of the reflections on the water's surface. The tranquil atmosphere and the soft, diffused light are typical of Corot's landscapes, which evoke a sense of timeless peace and the beauty of the natural world.

Corot's work often straddles the line between realism and idealization, and "The Ferryman" is no exception. While the scene is rooted in the observable world, there is an element of the idyllic, suggesting the artist's interest in capturing not just the visual truth but also the emotional and poetic qualities of the environment. This painting, like many of Corot's works, influenced the next generation of artists, particularly the Impressionists, who sought to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere.

"The Ferryman" is appreciated for its quiet beauty and its reflection of Corot's technical skill and artistic philosophy. It remains a testament to the enduring appeal of landscape painting in the 19th century and the timeless quality of Corot's artistic vision.
