Liber Veritatis: No. 200, A View on the Sea Shore, with the Story of Jesus is a 1777 by Richard Earlom, a Romanticism work, depicting Aeneas, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a scene on the sea shore with figures and a story from Jesus. The story is depicted in a subtle way, blending into the landscape. It's interesting that the artist included this story in a calm seascape, which was a common theme in 18th-century art. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
Richard Earlom (1743–1822) was a British artist, born in London.
