Synopsis

This fascinating book, which accompanied a major exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, sets out to re-appraise the work of 17th-century landscape painter Claude Lorrain and look at it through fresh eyes. It unites in a single volume paintings, drawings and prints from all periods of the artist's life, highlighting not only the well-documented similarities between paintings and related works on paper, but also the essential differences between these different art forms.
