"Oil On Canvas From The 17th Century Representing A Lively Landscape "
Superb unsigned painting attributed to Claude Gellée known as Le Lorrain (1600-1682) depicting a lively landscape. Influenced by Italian painting (Rome or Roman countryside). Balanced composition with an ideal landscape (mixture of nature, ancient architecture and characters in a bucolic scene). Golden light in the background suggesting a sunset typical of idealized landscapes of the 17th century.
