Exhibition 'Invented Landscapes: How Old Masters Drew Nature' in Christ Church Picture Gallery
The landscape as an independent, image-worthy subject appeared late in Western Art and its beginnings lie in the more private medium of drawing. This exhibition will showcase how artists of the Renaissance and Baroque developed and then fuelled an interest in the subject of nature: from the Venetian artist Domenico Campagnola's (1500–1564) idyllic landscapes of a romantic rural life to the French master Claude Lorrain (1600–1682), whose name became synonymous with landscape painting.
