About the Item
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.

Claude was orphaned at a young age and was raised by his elder brother, who was a woodcarver. At the age of 13, he moved to Rome to work as an apprentice to the painter Agostino Tassi. In Rome, he became fascinated by the natural landscape and began painting landscapes himself.
Claude's paintings were highly influential in the development of landscape painting as a separate genre, and he became famous for his ability to capture the essence of nature in his works. His landscapes often featured idealised settings with a golden glow and soft, hazy light, giving them a dreamlike quality.
Claude was highly regarded during his lifetime and was patronised by many wealthy and influential individuals, including King Louis XIV of France. He spent most of his life in Rome but also travelled extensively throughout Italy and France. He was a member of the Academy of St. Luke in Rome and was highly respected by his fellow artists.
Claude's legacy as a painter has endured to this day, and he is considered one of the most important painters of the Baroque era. His influence can be seen in the works of many later artists, including J.M.W. Turner and John Constable.
