Artworks “after Claude Lorrain” are imitations of Lorrain’s style or reproductions of his work that constitute original pieces of art in their own right.

This oil painting is a reproduction made by an unknown artist in the 19th century of the oil painting Port de mer avec la villa Médicis (1637) by Claude Lorrain and owned by the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.

Lorrain is one of the earliest significant artists to concentrate on landscape painting. His landscapes often transitioned into the more prestigious genre of history paintings by addition of a few small figures. By the end of the 1630s, he was established as the leading landscapist in Italy. He masterfully introduced the sun and streaming sunlight into many of his paintings, which had been rare in paintings before.

The painting has craquelure, as shown in the photos.
