"Liber Veritatis: Two Plates by Richard Earlom" is a notable work in the realm of art history, particularly in the context of printmaking and the reproduction of classical artworks. Richard Earlom (1743–1822) was an English mezzotint engraver renowned for his skill in capturing the subtleties of light and shadow, which he adeptly demonstrated in his reproductions of paintings. The "Liber Veritatis" series, which translates to "Book of Truth," is a collection of prints that Earlom created based on the drawings of the celebrated French Baroque painter Claude Lorrain (1600–1682).

Claude Lorrain, known for his idyllic and pastoral landscapes, meticulously documented his works in a sketchbook, which he titled "Liber Veritatis." This sketchbook served as a record of his paintings, ensuring their authenticity and providing a reference for future commissions. In the late 18th century, John Boydell, a prominent London publisher and print dealer, commissioned Earlom to reproduce these drawings as mezzotints. The resulting series, published between 1774 and 1777, consists of 200 plates and is highly regarded for its fidelity to Lorrain's original compositions and its technical excellence.

The "Two Plates" from the "Liber Veritatis" series exemplify Earlom's mastery in translating Lorrain's delicate and atmospheric landscapes into the medium of print. Each plate captures the essence of Lorrain's work, from the intricate details of the natural scenery to the ethereal quality of light that defines his style. Earlom's mezzotints are celebrated not only for their artistic merit but also for their role in preserving and disseminating Lorrain's legacy to a broader audience.

The "Liber Veritatis" series, including the "Two Plates," holds a significant place in art history as a bridge between the original works of Claude Lorrain and the art enthusiasts and collectors of the 18th century. It stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Lorrain's landscapes and the exceptional skill of Richard Earlom as an engraver.
