Delphi Complete Paintings of Claude Lorrain (Illustrated) Synopsis

Revered by artists and collectors since the seventeenth century, Claude Lorrain was a master of landscape painting, raising the reputation of the art form to new heights. His paintings present idealised views of nature, governed by Classical concepts and fuelled by the inspiration of the Roman Campagna. Claude's special contribution was the poetic rendering of light, which would particularly influence the Romantic movement and change the course of art.
