SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Claude Gellée, known as Claude Lorrain, was born in Lorraine early in the seventeenth century and spent most of his career in Rome. Studies of the countryside and changing light informed landscapes composed in the studio. Pastoral figures, ancient narratives and biblical episodes inhabit ordered spaces in which distance and atmosphere assume particular importance.
In Sunrise, an oil painting on canvas possibly made in 1646–1647 and held by the Metropolitan Museum, the luminous horizon preserves this poetic vision of the Roman countryside. The Liber Veritatis, now in the British Museum, gathers drawings recording his compositions and their recipients. His practice also included etching, as in Shepherd and Shepherdess Conversing in a Landscape, about 1651. Observation thus moves between painting, drawing and the printed image.
This profile brings together identity references for Claude Lorrain and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
