''Liber Veritatis'', or the ''Book of Truth'', is a collection of mezzotint prints by the English printmaker Richard Earlom (1743–1822). The work is a significant contribution to the art of printmaking in the 18th century and is renowned for its faithful reproductions of drawings by the celebrated French landscape painter Claude Lorrain (circa 1600–1682). Earlom's ''Liber Veritatis'' was published in three volumes between 1777 and 1819 and consists of over 200 plates, which meticulously replicate Claude's original works.

The project was commissioned by the British art dealer and publisher John Boydell, who sought to make Claude's masterpieces accessible to a wider audience through the medium of prints. Earlom's adept use of mezzotint—a technique known for its ability to produce rich tonal variations—allowed him to capture the subtleties of light and atmosphere that are characteristic of Claude's landscapes. The ''Liber Veritatis'' not only served as a catalogue of Claude's drawings but also as a testament to Earlom's skill and the potential of printmaking as a fine art.

The title ''Liber Veritatis'' refers to the original book that Claude Lorrain himself maintained, in which he recorded his completed paintings to guard against forgeries. Earlom's work, therefore, carries a dual significance: it is both a homage to Claude's artistic legacy and a record of Earlom's own interpretative artistry. The ''Liber Veritatis'' by Earlom remains a valuable resource for art historians and collectors, offering insight into the practices of art reproduction and the dissemination of artistic ideas in the pre-photographic era. It is also a testament to the collaborative spirit between artists across generations, and the enduring influence of Claude Lorrain's vision on the landscape genre.
