''Liber Veritatis'', or the ''Book of Truth'', is a celebrated collection of drawings by the French Baroque painter Claude Lorrain (born Claude Gellée), who was active during the 17th century. The collection, which was published in London by John Boydell in 1777, comprises a series of 200 engravings that were created after Claude's original drawings. These works were intended to serve as a visual record of the artist's paintings, ensuring that his compositions could be authenticated and protecting against forgeries.

Claude Lorrain, renowned for his landscape paintings that imbued the classical landscape with a poetic and idealized vision, meticulously cataloged his works in the ''Liber Veritatis''. The book not only served as a practical tool for authentication but also as a means to disseminate his style and compositions to a wider audience, influencing landscape painting across Europe. The engravings in the ''Liber Veritatis'' were executed by Richard Earlom under the direction of John Boydell, an influential print publisher and member of the Royal Academy.

The ''Liber Veritatis'' is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance in the art world. It represents one of the earliest systematic attempts by an artist to document his own oeuvre, and it set a precedent for the cataloging of artworks that would be followed by future generations. The publication of the ''Liber Veritatis'' by Boydell in 1777 made Claude's compositions accessible to collectors, connoisseurs, and artists outside of France, thus extending his influence and the appreciation of his work well into the 18th century and beyond. Today, the ''Liber Veritatis'' remains a valuable resource for art historians and scholars studying the work of Claude Lorrain and the development of landscape painting in the Western art tradition.
