About the artwork
Artist supplied description.
This painting of the ancient city of Delphi (in what is now Greece) presents a delicate rendering of the glowing Mediterranean atmosphere. Like many other foreign artists drawn to the ruins of antiquity, French painter Claude Lorrain was fascinated with the ancient Roman Empire. Here, he evoked a serene, bucolic world akin to the poetic vision of the ancient Roman writer Virgil, depicting the ruins restored to their original glory as Claude imagined. This painting was commissioned by Cardinal Carlo Camillo Massimi, an important and erudite collector in Rome.

Commissioned along with Coast View with Perseus and the Origin of Coral (LV 184) by Cardinal Carlo Camillo Massimi (died 1676), Rome, 1673, presumably to accompany two other paired paintings by Claude, identified as Landscape with Argus Gaurding Io (LV 86) and Coast View with Apollo and the Cumaean Sibyl (LV 99) [according to inscriptions that accompany the drawing after the painting in Claude’s “Liber Veritatis” (LV 182) that read “CLAVDIO fecit IV / Roma 1673” and “quadro facto per leminmo e Reve.ro / sigre Cardinale Massimo / A Roma 1673”]
