The trees become higher and the glades more like Watteau or corot scenes, but neither Watteau nor corot ever saw more naturally beautiful tinted figures; their many coloured draperies are so faded and blended in the strong sun that it is difficult to tell where one coloured cloth begins and another ends.
"From Edinburgh to India & Burmah"
William G. Burn Murdoch
All the figures are better painted than is usual with corot, and the angels are very light and delicate, both in color and form."
"Eugene Field, A Study In Heredity And Contradictions"
Slason Thompson
His treatment of this picture proved, if it proved anything, that corot had gone dangerously near the line where the sublime suggests the ridiculous.
