How much formal schooling did Claude Lorrain receive?

Claude Lorrain received very little formal schooling during his childhood. Although he was considered ill-educated in a formal sense—evidenced by his eccentric spelling and counting, as well as his halting writing style in both French and Italian—he was not an ignorant person.1

Despite his lack of traditional academic training, he possessed an adequate knowledge of significant literary and religious texts, including the Bible, Ovid’s Metamorphoses, and the Aeneid, which frequently informed the subjects of his paintings. Following his early years, he was trained as an artist in Rome under the landscapist Agostino Tassi.1
