	Claude Lorrain - Artist Biography
		Claude Lorrain, often called simple Claude, was born Claude GellÃ©e in the Duchy of Lorraine but spent almost all his life in Italy where, after 1633, he was the leading landscapist, working on commissions from popes, cardinals, ambassadors, and kings.
		Claude, in particular, profoundly influenced later landscapes in France and England, among them Bonington, Constable and Turner; as well as the many English landscape architects of the eighteenth century who were interested in creating "picturesque" effects.
		Claude's influence is also seen in the works of Corot and Cezanne, both of whom studied nature in its various aspects and under different conditions of light.

	Claude Lorrain - Biography
		Claude Lorrain was born around 1604 of very poor parents at the village of Champagne in Lorraine.
		Claude, who had suffered much from gout, died in Rome at the age of eighty-two, on the 21st (or perhaps the 23rd) of November 1682, leaving his wealth, which was considerable, between his only surviving relatives, a nephew and an adopted daughter.
		Claude was a man of amiable and simple character, very kind to his pupils, a patient and unwearied worker; in his own sphere of study, his mind was stored (as we have seen) with observation and knowledge, but he continued an unlettered man till his death.

	Claude Lorrain
		Claude Gellee of Lorrain (1600-1682), also known as Claude Lorrain, or simply Claude, was born in 1600 in Chamagne, a hamlet of Lorrain.
		While Claude is notable in the French Classical Baroque period for his naturalistic study of the Italian terrain, he also imposed creative control over nature, arranging patterns of light and dark and using an interconnected series of landscapes motifs such as paths, bridges and rivers to carefully guide the eye through the scene.
		Claude also employed clearly demarcated planes of receding space to further enhance the sense of rational, classical order, which was enlivened by a more empirical analysis of nature with passages of naturalistic texture and atmospheric perspective.

	Claude
		Claude Gellee was born in the province of Lorraine in France during the first five years of the 17th century, the exact date of his birth in unknown.
		Claude signed his name on the back of these drawings and included either the name of the patron who had commissioned the work or the city to which the painting was being sent.19 In this way, he could insure that his work could not be copied and passed off as an original.
		Claude offers us a wonderful example of the different ways in which an artist uses drawings, and the degree to which they not only contribute to finished works of art, but how integral drawings are to an artist's creative process.

	CLAUDE LORRAIN
		Claude's career spans almost the entire century - his earliest datable works are from the end of the 1620s - and he witnessed almost all the main changes of artistic style during his long stay in Rome.
		Claude's earliest surviving pictures have usually been dated to around 1630, although he did not begin to keep accurate records until the mid-1630s.
		Claude's powers of innovation were in fact limited - he concentrated on a very narrow range of tones in a very narrow landscape type.

		Claude Lorrain (Claude Gellée): Queen Esther Approaching the Palace of Ahasuerus (1997.156)
		Claude here depicts the Old Testament story of Queen Esther, who went to the king's palace to implore mercy for her condemned people.
		By choosing instead the moment of Esther's approach to the palace, which is not described in the biblical text, Claude has shifted the focus from the clemency of the king to Esther's act of bravery when its outcome was still unclear.

	Claude Lorrain Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin were the most distinguished exponents of the French classical baroque style, though fulfilling antithetically expressive ends within the theoretical precepts established by the French for painters from the middle of the 17th century.
		Lorrain, however, largely deemphasized the role of man in nature in order to enhance the presence and play of cosmic forces, though classical tradition precluded his unbalancing the two to any pronounced degree.
		Claude Lorrain was born Claude Gellée in the village of Chamagne near Nancy.

		In Claude’s paintings classical calm, order, and harmony were paramount; however, the basis for this new response to nature and natural phenomena was secured through the direct and prolonged observation of the landscape itself.
		Claude’s drawings reveal this intimate relationship and illustrate the foundation of baroque illusionism.

	Adventures in CyberSound
		Claude Gellée (called Lorrain after his birthplace in France) was one of the many Northern European artists drawn to Italy.
		Claude, whose special contribution was the poetic rendering of light, was particularly influential, not only during his lifetime but, especially in England, from the mid-18th to the mid-19th century.
		Thus Claude Lorraine in `Landscape with the Father of Psyche sacrificing to Apollo' (1660-70) has placed a copse of trees, typicially rendered as near-silhouettes, to the right foreground and a classical temple to the left, thereby prompting the eye to wander toward a distant seaport and mountains painted with a very pale palette.

		Claude’s drawing techniques will be compared with those of some of his contemporaries and predecessors.
		The question of alteration of Claude’s drawing materials over time, both physically and chemically and the impact of these changes on the aesthetics of the visual image, will be presented.

	Seaport with the Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba by CLAUDE LORRAIN (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Claude's influence indeed became all-pervasive, most of all in eighteenth-century England, where it affected not only painting and collecting but the very ways in which real landscape was viewed and artificial parkland constructed.
		Like many of Claude's pictures, the Seaport with the Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba was conceived as one of a pair; its companion, the Landscape with the Marriage of Isaac and Rebekah ('The Mill'), is also at the National Gallery.
		Claude follows his usual method of simultaneously harmonising and contrasting the two pictures: the Marriage of Isaac and Rebekah is a landscape in late summer afternoon, the Embarkation a coastal view, depicted in early morning light like all of Claude's Embarkations.

	Claude Lorrain Art Reproductions - Coast Scene with the Rape of Europa
		Of the various compositions, that of 1634 is also recorded in an etching, while the others are included in Claude's Liber Veritatis (LV 111, 136 and 144), which served as an official drawn record made by the artist himself of his painted compositions dating from 1637 onwards.
		The description in Ovid is immensely poetic and Claude Lorrain, by this time well versed in mythology and fully practised in its depiction, successfully expresses the beauty of the text in paint.
		The care lavished on the draperies, the flowers and garlands, the waves lapping the sides of the vessels, and the down along the flanks of the cattle testify to the precision of Claude Lorrain 's art in creating a world that oscillates between quotidian experience and arcadian bliss.

	Shotgun Review: Claude Lorrain - The Painter as Draughtsman: Drawings from the Briltish Museum
		As the wall text notes, Claude created the template for much landscape painting of the next 400 years, and it can be hard to see this work (especially the paintings) without the surrounding “noise” of hundreds of other subsequent landscapes, including those omnipresent prints in roadside motels and undemanding movie backgrounds.
		The British Museum owns Claude’s “Liber Veratatis,” an encyclopedic book of drawings, taken apart to show as individual drawings, that Claude created to record his own paintings—he was already plagued by forgers from his 30’s—to work out ideas, and record motifs to use in later artworks.
		Claude spent much of his life in Rome, where he was equally influenced by Classical art and literature and by the expatriate Dutch and other northern painters who were among the first to see landscape as a serious subject for art.

	Claude Gellée, called Claude Lorrain (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Claude who has long been known as the greatest of all painters of the 'ideal landscape' painted images of nature that were intended to be more beautiful than nature herself.
		To the genre, Claude made the distinctive contribution of using light as the principal means of both unifying a composition and of lending serene beauty to the landscape.
		Those two times of the day were considered the most poetic and Claude often juxtaposed the two in pairs of pictures.
