Aged twelve Claude was taken into the household of the Roman painter Agostino Tassi, as a pastry cook, but instead became Tassi’s studio assistant. He returned to Lorrain for a period to work with the court painter Claude Deruet, a friend of Jacques Callot, and the latter was possibly the instigator of Claude’s interest in etching, which he took up after his permanent return to Rome in 1627.Claude’s reputation for atmospheric, poetic, classical interpretations of the landscape of the Roman Campagna, was established in the 1630’s.
