DESCRIPTION:
This fascinating book, which accompanied a major exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, sets out to re-appraise the work of 17th-century landscape painter Claude Lorrain and look at it through fresh eyes. It unites in a single volume paintings, drawings and prints from all periods of the artist's life, highlighting not only the well-documented similarities between paintings and related works on paper, but also the essential differences between these different art forms.

Nice book but buyer beware Midnight_Blue_Mozart A small but interesting book on an artist that is at once known & unknown. Before purchasing this book I had a number of other books that had many of Lorrain's paintings but not brought together in one publication. So when this book was announced, I was quite excited! But once I received it I realized that for $50 you feel a little shortchanged. The text is rather brief, but well written. The repro. Bartok Kinski said The Enchanted Landscape. Ignore the low reviews, this is one book for your art collection. Lovely works.
