Sketches and drawings of the 1600s come alive in Claude Lorrain's works, as he drew from his studio in Rome. He obviously had a love for the countryside, God, and history. Many put his sketches and drawings up against the great painters and artisans of his day. I'd be one of those folks who tends to agree.
If you do not know much about this period, or this artist, and you care very much for art history, then I surely hope you will join me in considering owning a copy of a book that has all his work depicted. The book I am going to recommend to you is:
"The Claude Lorrain Album - in the Norton Simon, Inc. Art Museum" by Marcel Roethlisberger; Los Angeles Museum of Art Publishing 1971. ISBN: 0-87587-045-7.
This art photography book has over sixty drawings by Claude Gellee, who is known to the world as Claude Lorrain born in 1600 in Lorrain. He later went to Rome in his young adulthood, where he made his mark. His drawings were well ahead of his time and are loved by art historians to this day. Many of his drawing capture the essence of the time, while others are somewhat abstract, pictorials of religious significant or historical accounts.
It is my hope that you will purchase a copy of this art book, and read through it and become amazed at the drawings and then display it in your living room, available for friends and company to become acquainted with this great work. Please consider this.
