information from the Kimbell Art Museum catalog

description: The Stonecutters featured in the posthumous retrospective of Corot’s work held in 1875 in Paris––the first public homage to the fame of the deceased master––where it was purchased by a Parisian, Dr. Cambay. The inclusion of the painting in an exhibition three years later at the influential Galerie Durand-Ruel––the last time it was publicly exhibited until its recent rediscovery––testifies to its importance in the artist’s oeuvre.
