Landscape with a Lake and a Walled Town
Pietro da Cortona (Pietro Berrettini) (1596 - 1669)
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
1632 - 1635
The importance of Cortona's landscapes are in the link that they form between the classicising formality of Annibale and Domenichino and the move towards a spontaneous observation of nature that was to be developed by Claude and Gaspar Dughet in the following decades.
