His harbor scenes and views of the Roman countryside had a lasting influence on landscape artists for centuries to come. In the late 1700?s, during the Romantic period of art, his drawings and paintings were made into sepia toned mezzotint engravings. Richard Earlom and W. Say Engravings after Claude Le Lorrain, not framed. Richard Earlom (1743-1822), was a master printmaker, specializing in the mezzotint. In 1774 the Duke of Devonshire lent his collection of Claude Le Lorrain drawings to the publisher Boydell for the purpose of having them engraved, and Boydell commissioned Earlom to do this job. It took about three years, and resulted in several volumes entitled Liber Veritas ? the same as the title for the collection. With the lettering in the plate Claude le Lorrain delin at left, the Boydell address center, R. Earlom fecit right, and below the lettering From the Original Drawing in the Collection of the Duke of Devonshire, 11 x 9 at view. To create the look of the original drawings Earlom started with etching, then used the roulette tool which he was familiar with in his mezzotint work to create the wash tones. It appears that in certain areas Earlom would scrape the roulette work, using a conventional mezzotint technique, to create areas of solid wash with varying intensities of darkness and light. The plates were then printed in a sepia ink, similar to the bistre of the drawings. Very good condition.
