About the Author

Claude Lorrain (1600-1682) was a celebrated French Baroque landscape painter whose luminous depictions of idealized nature transformed the genre into high art. Working primarily in Italy, he developed a distinctive style that bathed classical ruins and pastoral scenes in golden, atmospheric light, creating harmonious compositions that influenced generations of artists. His technical mastery of perspective and his poetic vision of the natural world established him as one of the most important landscape painters of the seventeenth century.
