A summer stroll

Vottorio Corcos' early training in Italy was in the atelier of Domenico Morbelli who considered him one of his best students. By 1880 Corcos moved to Paris exhibiting A la brasserie in 1881 at the Paris Salon. Corcos was in Paris until 1886, working almost exclusively for the art dealer Adolphe Goupil. Goupil's support afforded Corcos international exposure among the growing group of wealthy American collectors who visited Paris on their "grand tours" of the continent as well as with the growing class of French bourgeoisie eager to collect art.
