Around 1637 -1654 · Ideal ports, sacred departures and light of dawn
At Claude Lorrain, boarding becomes an architecture of light: palaces, ships and crowds frame a solar horizon where the biblical or epic journey seems to begin with daylight.
Claude Gellée, known as Claude Lorrain, developed in Rome a form of ideal landscape where history often occupies a tiny place facing the sea, the sky and the light. Its embarkation scenes bring together biblical stories, lives of saints and literary episodes in imaginary ports inspired by Ostia and classical architecture. The Embarkation of Saint Paula, the Embarkation of Saint Ursula and that of the Queen of Sheba organize the departure with steps, colonnades, towers, boats and large ships. The low morning light crosses the masts, is reflected on the water and transforms the activity of the quay into an ordered vision. In 1648, the port of the Queen of Sheba reached one of the peaks of this formula will profoundly influence Turner. The "Boardings of Claude Lorrain" selection notably compares Sea Port, Mist Effect and Landscape with the embarkation of the Queen of Sheba. Its reading favors details.
Claude does not only paint the departure of a character: he makes dawn itself the first stage of the journey.
