Around 1643 -1675 · Aeneid, ideal ports and Roman destiny
For Claude Lorrain, Aeneas' journey becomes a crossing of light: departures, arrivals, temples and shores place the tiny hero in a Mediterranean landscape larger than the story.
Claude Gellée, known as Claude Lorrain, built an ideal landscape in Rome where light, the sea and architecture give ancient stories a universal dimension. Virgil's Aeneid offers him the journey of an exile destined to found the Roman lineage: Aeneas leaves Carthage, consults the signs of his destiny, crosses Delos and finally reaches Lazio. Claude associates these episodes with imaginary ports, temples inspired by Rome, sacred trees and horizons bathed in gold. The figures often remain small, but their gestures make the story readable. In the last years of his life, the painter devotes a particularly ambitious cycle to the Trojan hero, confronting each stage from the journey to the permanence of nature and the idea of future Rome. The selection "Aeneas by Claude Lorrain" notably compares Aeneas Leaves Carthage and Aeneas' Arrival at Pallanteum. His reading favors the material.
Claude does not only recount the stages of Aeneas: he paints the luminous space in which exile gradually becomes a destiny.
