About the piece
Painted in 1656, Claude Lorrain's 'The Sermon on the Mount' exemplifies the artist's mastery of atmospheric perspective and luminous light. The work depicts Christ preaching from a central, rocky mount surrounded by a diverse crowd of followers, while the background opens into a breathtaking, hazy view of a distant coastline and mountains under a vast, cloud-filled sky.
