The Herd Returning in Stormy Weather — Lorrain Area Rug
Couldn't load pickup availability
Etched around 1650–1651 and known in French as Le troupeau en marche par un temps orageux, this print — held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, among others — shows herdsmen driving their cattle home beneath a turbulent, wind-swept sky. It's a departure from the calm, golden light Claude Lorrain is best known for, using the etching needle instead to build a darker, more dramatic atmosphere across the landscape. The print shows the range within Claude's pastoral repertoire, from sunlit idylls to weather-beaten drama.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

The detail is unbelievable for the price. The brushwork in The Herd Returning in Stormy Weather shows exactly why Lorrain has the reputation.
I have had it a month and I am still not happy with it. It does not look like the Lorrain I remember from the museum, and The Herd Returning in Stormy Weather deserves better. It is going in the reading nook where nobody looks.
The detail is unbelievable for the price. My daughter recognized The Herd Returning in Stormy Weather from her art class and was thrilled.
I ordered one for myself and immediately started thinking about who else would want one…
