Biography
Claude Lorrain (b.1600 d.1682) was a French landscape painter. Trained by artist Agostino Tassi, Lorrain depicts beautiful and harmonious landscapes. His work often features classical ruins and figures living harmoniously in nature. He was inspired by the Roman Campagna and made numerous drawings and studies of the light and landscape. The drawings were then integrated into his oil paintings which he completed in the studio. J.M.W. Turner was heavily inspired by Lorrain especially in his depiction of sunlight.
