Manocci. 9 I (of IV)
One of the earliest contemporary impressions of the first state (of IV) which is characterised by the striking plate tone and according to Mannocci by the branches clearly visible against the sky in the polished area at the tree in the center of the print. In a very good condition. Due to its characteristics an early impression of greatest rarity.

This drawing is closely related to A view in Rome, an oil on canvas, dated 1632, now in the National Gallery, London (Fig. 1; Inv. 1319; M. Roethlisberger, 1979, op. cit., no. 214) although the composition differs in a few respects. Most importantly the Church of Trinità dei Monti is represented further away in the canvas which also shows the Palazzo Zuccari on the right, omitted on the present drawing. The right half of the picture, with a temple and a statue of Apollo, is imaginary.

This drawing was probably made from life, circa 1638-40, in the harbour of Ripa Grande on the right bank of the Tiber, facing Mount Aventine, a favourite spot for the landscapists of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-centuries. On theverso Claude traced the motives of the two boats, as he did on quite a few drawings from the same period (M. Roethlisberger, Claude Lorrain, The Drawings, Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1968, nos. 201, 208, 305, 307, 422 and 482).
