Claude Lorrain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born as Claude Gell\u00e9e in Chamagne, France in 1600, Claude Lorrain is known as the greatest landscape artist of the 17th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorrain was an employed pastry cook for Agostino Tassi before becoming his apprentice from 1618 until 1625. Tassi was a major influencer of Lorrain\u2019s art style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the 195 pages of Liber Veritatis (c.1776)<\/em><\/strong>, depicts two individuals named Jacob and Laban, and two of Laban’s daughters. There are also three unnamed people resting beneath a tree, with herds of sheep and cattle also featured in the piece.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After his apprenticeship, Lorrain\u2019s commissioned works were famous, causing them to be imitated by many. To prevent theft, he recorded them in a notebook- later published as the \u2018Liber Veritatis\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorrain usually painted seascapes and landscapes before 1640, mastering atmospheric perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorrain\u2019s Harbor Scene at Sunset (c.1643) <\/em><\/strong>shows the artist\u2019s technique of atmospheric perspective, notably through the faded landform on the horizon. His pieces were filled with natural light and he was considered the first artist to try and accurately depict the sun and its radiating light.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Onwards, his works involved human subjects, taking studies from Domenichino and Annibale Carracci. He included biblical and mythological subjects, making his compositions more complex and lively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Lorrain’s The View of Carthage with Dido and Aeneas (c.1675) <\/em><\/strong>depicts a scene from Virgil\u2019s Aeneid, where Trojan hero Aeneas meets Queen Dido of Carthage and falls in love.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lorrain was the first to open public eyes to the beauty of nature, with rich English men modelling their gardens after Claude\u2019s work. His last known painting was ‘Ascanius Shooting the Stag of Silva<\/em>‘ in 1682 before dying during that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorrain specified strictly on nature and light in landscape painting, unlike artists who painted a wider range of subjects such as Rubens and Rembrandt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This choice made his art appeal to later generations, with his study of nature solidifying his place in art history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
