Description
This fascinating book, which accompanied an immense exhibition on the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, sets out to re-appraise the work of 17th-century landscape painter Claude Lorrain and have a look at it thru fresh eyes. It unites in a single volume paintings, drawings and prints from all periods of the artist’s life, highlighting now not handiest the neatly-documented similarities between paintings and related works on paper, but additionally the very important differences between these other art forms.
