"Liber Veritatis" is a renowned collection of prints by the English engraver Richard Earlom, published in the late 18th century. The work is a meticulous reproduction of the drawings of the celebrated French Baroque painter Claude Lorrain. Claude, known for his idyllic and classical landscapes, maintained a record of his compositions in a book he titled "Liber Veritatis" (Book of Truth). This book served as a form of authentication for his works, ensuring that his original compositions could be distinguished from copies and forgeries.

Richard Earlom, born in 1743, was an accomplished mezzotint engraver whose skill in capturing the subtleties of light and shadow made him an ideal candidate for this ambitious project. Commissioned by the art dealer John Boydell, Earlom's task was to translate Claude's delicate drawings into the medium of mezzotint, a printmaking process known for its rich tonal range and ability to render fine details.

The publication of Earlom's "Liber Veritatis" began in 1777 and was completed in 1819, encompassing three volumes. Each volume contains a series of plates that faithfully replicate Claude's original drawings, accompanied by descriptive text. The prints are celebrated for their technical excellence and for the way they capture the essence of Claude's landscapes, which are characterized by their serene beauty and classical composition.

Earlom's "Liber Veritatis" not only served to preserve Claude's legacy but also played a significant role in the dissemination of his work to a broader audience. The collection was highly influential in the 18th and 19th centuries, inspiring artists and collectors alike. Today, it remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Baroque art, offering a glimpse into the creative process of one of history's great landscape painters through the lens of a master engraver.
