Description: | This is probably a nineteenth-century work after Claude Lorrain, depicting a classical landscape with the iconography of the Rest on the Flight into Egypt. Both the biblical figures and the Roman countryside are pictorial elements that Claude used regularly in his work. Claude is considered one of the greatest landscape painters of all time and his idyllic views of Roman Campagna brought him success and fame. He was widely copied from the early days of his career, and this work lacks Claude's sensitivity to effects of light and the gentle mood he managed to evoke. | Subjects: | religion (Rest on the Flight into Egypt); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lorrain, Claude (French painter and draftsman, 1604-1682, active in Italy) Æ Attributed to after | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8613... | Go to resource |
