Bestell-Nr: 1461265

 

Featuring more than 100 works, the exhibition Rome: Nature and the Ideal. Landscapes 1600-1650 will be exhibited at the Museo del Prado after its showing at the Grand Palais in Paris. The exhibition project is one of the most ambitious to be undertaken by the Prado, which has worked closely with the Musée du Louvre. Works have been loaned from fifty different sources in order to offer the most important selection of landscape of this period to be exhibited to date. This important group of works will also analyse the evolution of the genre from its first flowering to its maturity through figures of the stature of Velázquez, Claude Lorraine and Poussin. The catalogue includes seven essays followed by detailed entries on all the works on display. The paintings will be arranged over six sections corresponding with the sections of the exhibition, with an introductory catalogue on each section. The drawings will be the subject of a separate chapter.
