Italianate landscapist Claude Lorrain’s idealized, often otherworldly scenes and shaped generations of painters after him. The seaport is imaginary, but the wondrous color, detail, and composition make it more real than any actual locale. Lorrain’s pastorals are perhaps the zenith of landscape art in the West, a transferal of the mind’s eye to the canvas without equal. Remastered at the Studios of Art Chateau.
