CLAUDE LORRAIN (CLAUDE GELLÉE). View of La Crescenza

CLAUDE LORRAIN (CLAUDE GELLÉE). View of La Crescenza. Artist: Claude Lorrain (Claude Gellée) (French, Chamagne 1604/5?-1682 Rome). Dimensions: 15 1/4 x 22 7/8 in. (38.7 x 58.1 cm). Date: 1648-50. In its immediacy and breadth of handling, this small picture recalls drawings that Claude made from nature in the environs of Rome. The composition is recorded in the painter's <i>Liber Veritatis</i>. The building, which still stands in the outskirts of Rome, was a medieval fortress transformed into a country house, which in the seventeenth century belonged to the aristocratic Crescenzi family.
