Historical Context: The Popularity of Italianate Landscape Paintings
The Influence of Claude Lorrain on Arcadian Landscape Art
Claude Lorrain (1600–1682) was a French Baroque painter whose idyllic countryside artwork defined pastoral beauty in oil painting. His work, often set in Arcadian landscapes, was characterized by balanced compositions, golden light, and classical ruins. His paintings influenced generations of artists, including British landscape painters who sought to capture similar bucolic serenity and classical grandeur.
Some of his most notable works include:
“Landscape with Ruins” (1636) – A beautifully composed classical landscape painting, depicting ancient ruins in harmony with nature.
“Pastoral Landscape with a Goatherd” – Featuring farm animals, rolling hills, and a peaceful river scene, this painting showcases Lorrain’s mastery of rural scenery.
Nicolas Poussin and the Classical Landscape Tradition
Alongside Lorrain, Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665) was another leading figure in the development of 17th-century pastoral scene painting. His structured compositions and emphasis on harmony and order laid the foundation for the antique-style oil painting movement in Europe.
Notable examples include:
“Landscape with a Calm” (1650-51) – A tranquil depiction of a Roman temple ruin, bathed in soft light and complemented by a peaceful river setting.
“Arcadian Shepherds” – A meditation on the transience of time and the timeless beauty of nature.
Both Lorrain and Poussin played a crucial role in the development of the 18th-century classical landscape painting genre, influencing numerous British and European painters.

Italianate landscape, Manner of Claude Lorrain
Very good Quality oil on relined canvas in the Manner of Claude Lorrain, cargo ships on the banks of the river Po Italy.
📜 Provenance – Italianate Landscape after Claude Lorrain, England or Italy, circa late 18th–early 19th century
This finely executed oil on canvas is an accomplished historic copy after Claude Lorrain’s celebrated Italianate river landscapes, specifically related to his Landscape with Merchants (c. 1630s), held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. The composition also bears a close resemblance to the 1769 engraving by Boydell and James Mason, after a painting once in the distinguished collection of Robert Trevor, 4th Baron Trevor, later 1st Viscount Hampden.
The scene features cargo ships along the tranquil banks of the River Po, enveloped in the soft, atmospheric light for which Claude Lorrain (1600–1682) is universally revered. Executed in the idiom of the Grand Tour period, the painting exemplifies the classical Arcadian themes sought by aristocratic collectors travelling through Italy in the 18th and early 19th centuries.
This work is a particularly elegant example of the period's taste for Claudean compositions, balancing architectural elements with expansive vistas and golden, diffused light. The canvas has been professionally relined and restored, housed in a contemporary frame that complements the work’s scale and palette. Minor craquelure and darkening to areas of the blue and green pigments remain consistent with age, enhancing its historic charm.
Ideal for integration into neoclassical, traditional, or transitional interiors, this work represents an opportunity to acquire a piece of decorative art with a strong visual lineage and academic relevance — a testament to Lorrain’s enduring influence across centuries of landscape painting.
Very similar to the Landscape with Merchants in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
Our version could be after the engraving by Boydell and James Mason on 1st January 1769.
Interestingly, the source painting for the painting was once in the collection of Robert Trevor, 4th Baron Trevor (from 1764), and subsequently (from 1776) 1st Viscount Hampden.
