around 1604/1605 -1682 · Genesis, ideal landscape and Roman light
Claude Lorrain places the journey of Jacob, Laban, Rachel, Léa and their flocks in vast ideal landscapes where the biblical story becomes a human measure of nature.
Claude Gellée, known as Claude Lorrain, transforms Jacob's episodes into landscapes ordered by light. The story comes from the book of Genesis: Jacob leaves his family, meets Rachel, serves Laban to obtain her hand then leaves with women, children and herds. At Claude's, these events are not isolated against a decorative background. Figures, animals, path, river, bridge and architecture are distributed in successive shots which lead the eye towards a luminous horizon. The painter observes the Roman countryside on the motif before recomposing into a workshop a nature more harmonious than any real site.
