In the life of Claude Lorrain
The whole life1658
Adopts an orphan, Agnese
Never married, Claude adopted an orphan child, Agnese, in 1658; she may well have been his own daughter by a servant of the same name; other accounts say she was born in 1653 and became heir to all his property.
1660s
Visits his neighbour Nicolas Poussin
Claude’s neighbour was Nicolas Poussin, whom he visited in the 1660s.
1660–1680
Works more slowly, but still with success
In his last two decades (1660–80) Claude worked more slowly but always with success; to this period belongs the series of the “Moments of the Day”: “Noon”, “Evening”, “Night” and “Morning in the Harbour”.
1662
Nephews join the household
In 1662 a nephew, Jean, son of Denis Gellée, joined the household, and around 1680 another, Joseph, son of Melchior; Baldinucci took much of his information about Claude from a nephew who lived with the artist.
