French painter. Born in the
duchy of Lorraine, he went to Rome as a youth, and there trained with the
landscape and fresco painter Agostino Tassi and encountered the work of N.
Poussin. He became known as the master of the ideal landscape, a view of
nature more beautiful and harmonious than nature itself; his landscapes
and coastal scenes contain architectural fragments
and figures. His reputation is based particularly on his sensitivity to
the tonal values of light and atmosphere. By the 1630s he was well known
and successful, with illustrious patrons among the
French and Italian aristocracy. His work influenced the Dutch painters in
Rome in the 1630s and 1640s, as well as the entire course of European
landscape painting. Some 250 paintings and over 1,000 drawings survive. |
