Known for his philanthropy, he is also one of the founders of the Barbizon school. Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot was born on July 16, 17962 at number 125 rue du Bac, in Paris. Corot came from a family of wealthy merchants: his mother, Marie Françoise Corot (1768-1851), née Oberson, was the daughter of a Swiss from the Palace of Versailles, and his father, Jacques Louis Corot (1771-1847), had inherited the wig shop from his father-in-law5 before working alongside his wife. The Corots became fashion merchants and ran a famous boutique at the corner of rue du Bac and quai Voltaire in Paris, supplying the Duchess of Orléans in particular during the Restoration. The Corots have two other children, Annette Octavie (1793-1874) and Victoire Anne (1797-1821) who live upstairs above the store.
