Originally published in 1926, this book contains the text of the Rede Lecture for the same year, delivered by art historian Arthur Hind. Hind discusses the connection between the Baroque painter Claude Lorrain and the art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with particular regard to landscape painting, and illustrates the text with images of Lorrain's work. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in art history and the art of Claude Lorrain.
