Claude Vernet refers to those French artists who diligently worked oil from nature, continuing the Franco-Roman tradition, which went back to the color fixings of K. Lorren.
Vernet studied for a long time in Italy – he spent nineteen years there. The artist wrote a lot from nature, carefully studying and fixing various states of light and air. His Italian works are not like the then widespread decorative landscapes.
The paintings of Verne are distinguished by their observability, subtlety in the transfer of the ratio of the terrestrial and air environment, inspired realism. Sometimes, with an irony, the artist writes everyday scenes unfolding, for example, on the coast. Later, Verne wrote fantasy landscapes from memory, but his enthusiastically enthusiastic perception of the world was preserved, as well as the ease with which his works seem to be executed.
