Today we're having a look at some of the paintings inside the Baroque Room. Nicolas Poussin painted Landscape With A Woman Washing Her Feet around 1650.
Claude Lorrain, aka Claude Gellee, painted Landscape With A Temple Of Bacchus, around 1644.
This is a work by Veronese and his workshop, titled The Rest On The Flight Into Egypt, circa 1572, depicting the Holy Family.
Another work by Veronese, this is The Repentant Magdalen, done between 1565-70.
And for today we finish off with The Return Of The Prodigal Son, by Salvator Rosa. Done circa 1655-65, it depicts the New Testament parable.
Fascinating how the idea of the perfect landscape and even the "rules" of composition have evolved over time.
