Description: | This painting is probably by a French artist working in Rome in the tradition of Claude Lorraine. It shows an unidentified classical narrative taking place in an idyllic landscape in front of a doric temple surmounted by some form of pagoda structure. In the centre, a group of women stand around a sarcophagus with one, centrally placed female figure dressed in white. Another group of women stand to the right. In the background, is a bay with two ships, one of which seems to have run aground. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lorrain, Claude (French painter and draftsman, 1604-1682, active in Italy) Æ Manner of Attributed to Italian (Roman) School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8386... | Go to resource |
