View of Tivoli from Santa Maria del Giglio
Fleury joined Corot in Italy in 1827; they were at Tivoli, the subject of this view, on August 23. Whereas Corot built his reputation with paintings executed on a scale sufficient to stand out in a room crowded with large pictures, Fleury is known to have exhibited works that replicated his plein-air sketches in their degree of finish and modest size. This example is signed, suggesting that it was completed in the studio, yet it could well have been painted on the motif.
