"Akis and Galatea"
Claude Lorrain (1600-1682)

"Before art became as we know it today - it was invented in the end of the 17 -th century - most of the painters worked as they do in Hollywood : It was a painting buisness, in the same way as our movie buisness today.Claude Lorrain reproduced the most popular landscapes in copperplate print so he could earn even more on them."
