About the piece

Painted in 1652, Claude Lorrain’s masterpiece exemplifies the Ideal Landscape, where nature is rendered in its most perfect, harmonious state. The scene depicts Apollo and the Muses gathered on Mount Parnassus, framed by towering trees and overlooking a vast, luminous valley that recedes toward a distant mountain peak.
