The Art of Claude Lorrain
(Click on thumbnail for a larger image)




The noted French painter, Claude (Gellee) Lorrain (1600 - 1682), studied under the Roman landscape painter, Agostino Tassi.  Lorrain's masterful drawings and etchings, usually pastoral landscapes of the Roman countryside, sometimes including religious or mythological themes, were highly prizedby the English aristocracy visiting France and Italy on their grand tours in the 18th Century.  Done in sepia, these aquatints found their way into most of the great English noble art collections. In 1819, John Boydell in London published his Liber Veritatus, a beautifully engraved set of  Claude Lorrain drawings and etchings in private collections.  The prints are aquatints in sepia by Richard Earlom, with copperplate engraved titles. They are priced at $250 each.
