Claude Lorrain drew this sun-drenched river landscape in 1661, in pen and brown ink with brush and wash over black chalk. It illustrates a story from the Book of Genesis in which Jacob offers to tend Laban's flocks in exchange for the hand of his younger daughter, Rachel — a small narrative tucked into an expansive view of trees, water, and a distant Roman aqueduct. Claude, who left his native Lorraine as a young man and made the Italian countryside his lifelong subject, often used biblical and mythological episodes like this one as a pretext for composing idealized, light-filled landscapes. The drawing, now in the Art Institute of Chicago, shows the pastoral grandeur that made him the most influential landscape artist of the seventeenth century.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

It is a very good rug that costs a bit more than it should. The tones across A Wooded River Landscape are even and deep. The tracking updated at every step, which I always appreciate. I would happily buy here again.
The shipping was fast and the packing was better than most furniture I have bought. It was the first thing my mother noticed when she visited. It has become the thing I point to when people compliment the house. It has beaten every expectation I had.
Wonderful to read, thank you. We put a lot of thought into how these are packed, so it is good to know that came through.
Good value for something this size. Our stucco house is hard to decorate and this fit right in. Easy recommendation, with a small caveat about the price.
This is my fourth order from this shop and the standard has not slipped once. I have been hunting for a good version of A Wooded River Landscape for two years. We keep the porch doors open most of the year and the colors have not shifted. Ten out of ten from me.
I would buy from this shop again without much thought.
