CLAUDE LORRAIN (CLAUDE GELLÉE). Pastoral Landscape: The Roman Campagna

Pastoral Landscape: The Roman Campagna. Artist: Claude Lorrain (Claude Gellée) (French, Chamagne 1604/5?-1682 Rome). Dimensions: 40 x 53 1/2 in. (101.6 x 135.9 cm). Date: ca. 1639. The painting has been identified with one of the drawings in the <i>Liber Veritatis</i>. The inscription on the back of this drawing states that the painting was executed in Rome for a client in Paris. The contrast between intense light in the background and the lyrical shadow in the foreground is characteristic of Claude's landscapes, as is the building to the left, similar to many still visible in the Roman Campagna.
