Abstract (en)

Focuses on the recently discovered painting on copper, Dance of Apollo and the Seasons to the Music of Time, 1662 (private collection), which embodies the passing of time in motifs of landscape, figures, and architecture. Examines Claude's entire oeuvre in this light, finding the representation of revolving time to be a key theme. Then considers the concept of the flux of time in current study of the iconography of landscape; and in Baroque themes involving time. Also traces allusions to patrons' names in Claude's paintings, and presents examples of contemporary mottos referring to landscape, especially by Ménestrier.
