Landscape with Apollo and Marsyas
Landscape with Apollo and Marsyas is a c.1639 oil on canvas painting by Claude Lorrain, now in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.
The artist recorded it in his Liber Veritatis as number 45, captioned "made for monsier Perochet", meaning Guillaume Perochet, for whom Lorrain produced four works in total between 1637 and 1639.[1] It was in the Crozat collection from 1755, which was bought in its entirety by Catherine the Great for the Hermitage Museum, from which it was transferred to its present home in 1924.
A 1645 variant of the work is shown in the Liber Veritas, compositionally close to the Moscow work but in reverse - the finished work is now in Holkeme Hall.[2]
