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.
