Claude Lorrain's etching, "Embarkation of St. Ursula," (1665) depicts the departure of the Christian Saint Ursula and her companions from the port of Cologne. The scene is dominated by a grand classical building, with figures gathered on its steps, perhaps representing Ursula and her followers. The architectural style of the building is reminiscent of Roman architecture, a common theme in Lorrain's work. The composition includes a lively harbor scene with numerous ships, conveying the movement and energy of departure. This work is a prime example of Lorrain's distinct "ideal landscape" style, renowned for its classical influences and atmospheric effects.
