About Gaspard Dughet

1615–1675France

He was famed as a distinguished landscape painter working in Rome in the 17th century, painting decorative frescoes and easel paintings for major Roman patrons, including Pope Innocent X and the Colonna family. He is linked to a new genre of landscape, the storm scene, however his most characteristic works depict the beauty of the scenery around Rome, particularly near Tivoli. He was particularly interested in the shifting patterns of light and shade across a rugged terrain. French landscape painter, active in Italy. Comment on works: Landscapes; History.
