Claude Lorrain French 1600-1682 “Ideal View of Tivoli” 1644 Oil on canvas Photo is taken by: @robertpuffjr Claude Lorrain spent most of his time in Italy, principally Rome. Caught up in the seventeenth-century fervor for landscape painting, he would wander the Italian countryside, sketching and observing the behavior of light. In this fanciful astoral scene, young herders wade across a stream at dusk in the shadow of Tivoli, with its picturesque first century BC Temple of Vesta. These elements are merely conventions; the actual subject of the painting is the breathtaking play of mauve and gold as the sunsets and cold shadows catch the trees. Such attention to the dramatic possibilities of light and atmosphere made Lorrain the foremost landscape painter of his day. On the far horizon, the recently completed dome of St. Peter's in Rome can be seen. (This writeup is taken from the description at the museum.)
