Claude Lorrain
Claude Lorrain, born Claude Gellée, was a French painter, draughtsman and engraver of the Baroque era. He spent most of his life in Italy and is admired for his achievements in landscape painting. He painted a pastoral world of fields and valleys not distant from castles and towns that entered into these quiet scenes. Landscape as a subject was distinctly nontraditional and secular during this time of religious and mythical iconography, and Gellée was certainly breaking with tradition. John Constable described the artist as the most perfect landscape painter the world ever saw and declared that in Claude’s landscape, “all is lovely, all amiable, all is amenity and repose; the calm sunshine of the heart." He passed away on November 23, 1682.

- "Conversation Outside Castle, " an Etching by Jan Frans van BloemenBy Jan Frans van Bloemen (Orizzonte)Located in Milwaukee, WI"Conversation Outside Castle" is an original etching by Jan Frans van Bloemen. It depicts a number of figures just outside the majestic walls of a castle. These groups of figures are engaged in their own conversations. 9" x 6 3/4" art 21 5/8" x 19 3/8" frame Jan Frans van Bloemen (baptized 12 May 1662 - buried 13 June 1749) was a Flemish landscape painter mainly active in Rome. Here he was able to establish himself as the leading painter of views (vedute) of the Roman countryside depicted in the aesthetic of the classical landscape tradition. Van Bloemen predominantly painted classical landscapes, taking his inspiration from the Roman Campagna. His landscapes, with their recession through a series of planes, soft, warm lightning and classical and religious subject matter, drew on the examples of artists such as Claude Lorrain and Gaspard Dughet. His paintings are exquisitely imbued with that "difficult-to-define pastoral ambience" which helped to make him such a great painter in the eyes of his contemporaries. The technique and subjects of the work of Jan Frans van Bloemen are also related to painters such as Jan Asselijn...Category
