AGRICOLA, CHRISTOPH LUDWIG (1667-1719), German landscape
painter, was born and died at Regensburg (Ratisbon). He
spent a great part of his life in travel, visiting
England,
Holland and France, and residing for a considerable period at
Naples. His numerous landscapes, chiefly cabinet pictures,
are remarkable for fidelity to nature, and especially for
their skilful representation of varied phases of climate. In
composition his style shows the influence of Caspar Poussin,
while in light and colour he imitates Claude Lorraine.
His pictures are to be found in Dresden, Brunswick, Vienna,
Florence, Naples and many other towns of both
Germany and Italy.
