‘The lyrical landscapes of the French painter Claude Lorrain, redolent of the poetry of Ovid & Virgil, are among the final expressions of High Baroque Classicism; & they exerted a continual influence throughout the 18th century [ce], particularly in England (see Plate 17).

However, even in Rome itself a number of painters of importance succeeded in remaining more or less independent of the two main camps. Sassoferrato (1609-85[ce]), for example, painted in such an anachronistic style that he has been mistaken for a follower of Raphael.
