Claude Lorrain (1600 Chamage, Lorraine-1682 Rome), whose real name was Claude Gellee, was known as "Le orrain" after the land of his birth. Around 1613 he moved to Rome and became a student of the architectural painter Agostino Tassi. He continued his studies under the architecural and landscape painter Gottfried Sals during a stay in Naples from 1619 to 1624, at the end of which he spent two years in France. In 1634 he became a member of the Roman Academy and soon became its leading landscape painter. He at first, drew from the ideal landscapes of Annibale Carracci and the Netherlandish painters working in Rome, but his style later became closer to that of Nicolas Poussin. In contrast ot Poussin's Heroic tendencies, however, Lorrain pursued a lyric-romantic approach. Taken together, the creations of the two painters form a high point of the Roman Baroque. Among his works are The Embarkation of St. Ursula, 1642, the National Gallery, London; The Stuffling of the Haga, 1668, Alte Pinakothek, Munich; and Mt. Parnassus, 1680, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
