About the piece

This 1640 oil painting by Claude Lorrain depicts a biblical scene set within an expansive, idealized landscape of the Roman Campagna. Known for his mastery of light, Lorrain captures a soft, hazy atmosphere that recedes toward a distant mountain, creating a profound sense of depth and calm typical of the French Baroque style.
