Studies on Claude and Poussin

This volume contains twenty essays and reviews, chiefly concerning Claude Lorrain, but also including one on Gaspard Dughet, two on Nicolas Poussin (including the latest piece, an authoritative review of the 1994 Poussin exhibition), and a comparison of Lorrain and Poussin in landscape. The writings range considerably in scale and scope, from closely focused analyses of one or two paintings, or a group of drawings, to reviews of exhibitions and catalogues raisonnes, and the introduction to the 1969 Hayward Gallery exhibition, which introduced a wider public to an appreciation of Claude and ideal landscape. There is an introduction by Dr. Claire Pace covering the work of Professor Kitson, and a comprehensive index.
