SEAPORT (VILLA MEDICI)(1637)
- In Claudes Port with Villa Medici, a "portrait" of the Medici palace in Rome is combined with a fantastic and evocative seaside sunset. Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardins Girl with Racket and Shuttlecock and Boy Playing with Cards, both ordinary scenes rendered in limpid and luminous tones, give a sense of the heights reached by French artists during the eighteenth century.
