# Marine with the Trojans Burning their Boats [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CLAUDE LORRAIN]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 105 x 152 cm ## Commentary Claude Gellée, known as Lorrain, was born near Nancy in France. From 1613, however, he is recorded in Rome, where he spent most of his career, which he dedicated to the painting of landscapes. Although landscapes were starting to assume some autonomy a full century earlier, in the works of the Venetian school and above all Giorgione, Lorrain nevertheless represents one of Italy's earliest and most important exponents of landscape painting as an independent genre. Starting from the classicist tradition, he elaborated an idealized landscape which would give rise to a whole school and which can be considered close to the art of Nicolas Poussin. This painting is included in Liber Veritatis \(LV 71\). ## Related artworks - [A Mediterranean Seaport]() - [A Seaport at Sunrise]() - [Aeneas's Farewell to Dido in Carthago]() - [Apollo and the Muses on Mount Helion \(Parnassus\)]() - [Apollo Guarding the Herds of Admetus]() - [Coast Scene with the Rape of Europa]() - [Embarkation of St Paula Romana at Ostia]() - [Erminia and the Shepherds]() - [Flock of Sheep in the Campagna]() - [Forest Path with Herdsmen and Herd]() - [Harbour Scene at Sunset]() - [Harbour Scene]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
