About this work
Claude is renowned as one of the first professional landscape painters, as well as one of the genre’s greatest exponents. He was a skilled etcher and his influence spread quickly throughout Europe as his images were disseminated widely through prints. Claude also worked with Dutch artists who worked in Rome, such as Herman van Swanevelt, meaning direct knowledge of his working practice became known in the Netherlands. Claude’s popularity reached its peak in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when British collectors and landscape artists admired his virtues as a landscape artist above all others.
