The Embarkation of St. Paula in Ostia 

Claude Lorrain's "The Embarkation of St. Paula in Ostia" depicts a picturesque harbor scene bathed in a soft golden light. The painting showcases Lorrain's mastery of atmospheric perspective, with distant buildings and a ship fading into the hazy sky. The composition features a grand architectural structure on the right, a prominent feature in many of Lorrain's harbor scenes, and a detailed depiction of the bustling activity in the port, including several small boats and figures gathered on the dock. This masterful landscape painting, now located in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, epitomizes Lorrain's distinct style and captures the idyllic serenity of a golden hour in a vibrant Italian port.
