The quality is obvious the second you get it out of the box. My daughter recognized The Isolated Fort from a museum trip we took two summers ago. Do yourself a favor and get one.
I measured twice and still ended up wishing I had gone one size larger. Anyone who knows Corot will recognize The Isolated Fort from across the room. It has not faded in the months since it arrived. Summers here run humid from May through September and nothing about it has sagged or warped. Solid purchase, all things considered.
The listing photos are flattering, which I expected, and it is still nice in person. I get more comments about The Isolated Fort than about anything else we own. Fitting it into the hallway took some rearranging that I did not plan on. It cost about thirty dollars more than a similar option elsewhere. Five months of gray Michigan sky and the cream still reads warm.
We have had this a few months now and it has settled in well. The tones in The Isolated Fort lean warmer than the Corot I have seen at the museum. Good value once it finally showed up.
The photos on the site are honest, which is more than I can say for most places. Ordering this meant seeing The Isolated Fort every single morning, which was the whole point. My teenage son asked if he could have it for his room, which is unheard of. Already deciding where the next one goes.
