"An Evening Landscape with Mercury and Battus" is a renowned painting by the French artist Claude Lorrain (born Claude Gellée), who is celebrated for his poetic rendering of landscape scenes infused with classical antiquity. Created in 1654 during the Baroque period, this work exemplifies Lorrain's mastery in capturing the ethereal quality of light and his meticulous attention to detail in depicting pastoral landscapes.

The painting is a visual interpretation of a mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, featuring the Roman god Mercury (Hermes in Greek mythology) and the shepherd Battus. According to the myth, Mercury tests Battus's discretion by entrusting him with the secret of a stolen herd of cattle. When Battus proves untrustworthy, Mercury turns him into stone as punishment for his betrayal. Lorrain's depiction of this narrative is subtle, with the figures of Mercury and Battus often taking a secondary role to the expansive and idyllic landscape that dominates the canvas.

Measuring 102 cm by 134 cm, the oil on canvas painting is a testament to Lorrain's ability to harmonize nature with classical themes, creating a serene and timeless atmosphere. The artist's signature use of a warm palette and the delicate gradation of tones contribute to the tranquil sunset scene, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty and transience of the natural world.

"An Evening Landscape with Mercury and Battus" is held in high regard for its artistic significance and is considered a quintessential example of Lorrain's landscape oeuvre. The painting is part of the collection at the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be admired for its historical importance and its enduring aesthetic appeal.
