When Pope Urban, who was shown them by the cardinal, expressed his exceptional pleasure, the landscapes of Claude became the fashion, and his fame steadily rose during the rest of his long life of 82 years. At his death he was a recognized classic, his reputation remaining steadily supreme in his field throughout...

...Marches, Venice and North Italy. In 1423 he painted his most famous work, the "Epiphany," now in the Florence Academy.
