Flyer: “Teylers Museum and the Musée du Louvre present the first comprehensive exhibition on Claude Lorrain … ever held in the Netherlands … Popes, kings and the entire European upper class competed to acquire his paintings of enchanting harbour cities and idyllic park landscapes full of references to the Classics … was the first painter to give the sun a central role in his work. His golden Italian light was famous all over the world … In England, landscaped gardens – including classical buildings – were created based on his paintings. Surprisingly, Claude Lorrain is not very well known in the Netherlands … 78 drawings, 13 paintings and four etchings … display his exceptional talent”.
