Ancient Quote by Tanith Lee

![“What I like so much about Corot is that he can say everything with a bit of tree; and it was Corot himself that I found [back] in the museum of Naples - in the simplicity of the work of Pompeii and the Egyptians. These priestesses in their silver-grey tunics are just like Corot's nymphs.” quote by Pierre-Auguste Renoir](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/506/pierre-auguste-renoir-7064_bits_what-i-like-so-much-about-corot-is-that_1016895.jpg)
