Excerpt from Claude Lorraine
It is difficult to believe that an artist so renowned as Claude Lorraine, whose long and fruitful life was passed in such an eventful era, has, up to the present time, found no biographer. But no life of Claude can be found in the great libraries of Boston and Cambridge; nor is there any allusion to such a work in the numerous short sketches relating to him, and published in books pertaining to art-history. The best account now accessible is the monograph of M. Edouard Meaume, published in 1871, in the eleventh and supplemental volume of M. Edouard-Dumesnil's "Le Peintre-Graveur Francais." Other biographical sketches are found in Smith's "Catalogue Raisonne," vol. viii.; Blanc's "Histoire des Peintres: Ecole Francaise," vol. i.; and Baldinucci's "Notizie de' Professori del Designo," vol. xiii.
