CLAUDE GELLÉE, CALLED LE LORRAIN (1604/5-82)
Harbour Scene at Sunset
Inscribed 1643RCIN 401382
This French artist settled in Rome by 1627 and, in contrast with many of the Dutch painters there, reacted to the city with wonderment. Here, he inserts ancient Roman landmarks into a romantic view of a harbour, and employs his excellent command of perspective to show the sun setting directly on the vanishing point.
Probably acquired by Frederick, Prince of Wales
No. 30
