"The Ford" is a notable work of art by the French Baroque painter Claude Gellée, more commonly known as Claude Lorrain. Painted in 1644, this oil on canvas masterpiece is a quintessential example of Lorrain's romanticized and idealized landscapes, which were highly influential in the development of landscape painting as a genre. The painting is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

"The Ford" depicts a pastoral scene with shepherds leading their flock across a shallow river, set against a backdrop of lush trees and a distant, softly lit city. Lorrain's signature use of atmospheric perspective and his mastery of light effects are prominently displayed in this work, with the morning sun casting a warm, golden glow over the entire scene. The painting's composition, with its balance of natural and man-made elements, reflects Lorrain's idealized vision of nature and his fascination with the classical past.

Lorrain's works, including "The Ford," were highly sought after during his lifetime, particularly by wealthy patrons and collectors. His influence extended beyond his native France, reaching artists of the Dutch Golden Age and later the English Romantic painters. Today, "The Ford" remains a significant work in the canon of Western art, exemplifying Lorrain's contribution to the evolution of landscape painting.
