"Paysage Classique Avec Mercure Et Battus," also known as "Classical Landscape with Mercury and Battus," is a notable painting by the French Baroque artist Claude Lorrain, whose real name was Claude Gellée. Created in 1663, this work exemplifies Lorrain's mastery in landscape painting, a genre in which he was highly influential. Lorrain is celebrated for his ability to blend mythological themes with serene, idealized natural settings, and this painting is a quintessential example of his style.

The painting depicts a scene from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," specifically the story of Mercury and Battus. In the myth, Mercury, the Roman god of commerce and communication, transforms the shepherd Battus into a stone for betraying his trust. Lorrain captures this narrative within a lush, expansive landscape that features classical architectural elements, rolling hills, and a tranquil sky. The figures of Mercury and Battus are relatively small within the composition, emphasizing the grandeur and beauty of the natural world that surrounds them.

Lorrain's use of light is particularly noteworthy in this painting. He employs a soft, golden light that bathes the entire scene, creating a harmonious and almost ethereal atmosphere. This technique, known as "luminism," became a hallmark of Lorrain's work and influenced many subsequent landscape artists.

"Paysage Classique Avec Mercure Et Battus" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its exquisite composition and the delicate interplay of light and shadow. The painting not only reflects Lorrain's technical skill but also his ability to convey complex mythological narratives within the context of an idealized natural world. Through works like this, Claude Lorrain solidified his reputation as one of the foremost landscape painters of the 17th century.
