Claude Lorrain spent the vast majority of his artistic career in Rome, Italy.
Although he was born in the duchy of Lorraine, he traveled to Rome as a young man to train under the artist Agostino Tassi. Following a brief return to his homeland in 1625 to work as an assistant, he moved back to Rome during the winter of 1626ā27 and settled there permanently for the remainder of his life.1
