Here are the correct answers:

1. False. Corot is known for his landscape paintings, but he also painted figures, urban scenes, and mythological subjects. While he did sometimes use professional models, he also painted en plein air (outdoors) and often worked from memory or imagination.

2. True. Photography as we know it today emerged around 1840 with the invention of the daguerreotype by Louis Daguerre and the calotype process by William Henry Fox Talbot. These early photographic techniques laid the foundation for modern photography.

3. False. Claude Monet was associated with the Impressionist movement. While he shared some similarities with the outdoor painters of the Barbizon school, his focus was primarily on capturing the changing effects of light and atmosphere in his landscapes rather than directly imitating nature as the Barbizon painters did.

4. False. Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a prominent Impressionist painter known for his depictions of people, particularly of middle-class leisure activities. He often painted scenes of social gatherings, popular entertainment, and outdoor leisure, but not specifically scenes of the urban poor in Paris.

Your answers for questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect. Corot did not only paint in his studio, photography as we know it did emerge around 1840, Monet did not agree with the outdoor painters of the Barbizon school, and Renoir did not concentrate on scenes of the urban poor in Paris.
