About the piece
Painted around 1645 by the French Baroque master Claude Lorrain, this work exemplifies the 'ideal landscape.' It depicts an idyllic Roman Campagna with a villa perched on a verdant hillside, characterized by a sophisticated play of light and shadow and a harmonious composition that leads the eye from the shadowed foreground through to the hazy, distant mountains.
