Enée chassant le cerf sur la côte de Libye is a 1650 oil by Claude Lorrain, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a rocky terrain and a few trees in the foreground. In the distance, a body of water is visible, possibly an ocean or a lake. The sky above is cloudy, with the sun shining through the clouds. In the foreground, two figures are walking along a path, one of them carrying a bow and arrow. The atmosphere of the painting is peaceful, with a sense of calmness and tranquility. The use of warm colors, such as browns and greens, adds to the overall sense of serenity.
