Claude Lorrain
Ulysses Returns Chryseis to Her Father, oil on canvas by Claude Lorrain, c. 1644; in the Louvre, Paris. 119 Ć 150 cm.
No works by the French artist Claude Lorrain survive from before 1627, and it is likely that he did not begin painting landscapes until after that date. His first dated work, Landscape with Cattle and Peasants, was painted in 1629.
