R Lorrain

The number 71/350 simply means it was the seventy-first impression made from the stone out of a total run of 350 impressions.

You perhaps refer to René Lorrain. I suspect you will find it very difficult to find either biographical information or information on René Lorrain's opus--i know i did, and i began searching confident that it would not be that difficult. I was wrong.

Good luck.

I bought a painting by R.Lonain(?) at an auction the scene is a town on a lake or river, number at the bottom is 180.Sed (? on the Sed)

The spelling is different than that of R. Lorrain, it looks like R. Lorain

Thanks

I have a painting #35.300 on which the signature appears to be R. Loirain but I suppose it could b R. Lorrain. It is obviously quite old and was handed down to me from my father's great aunt. Frame is very old as well.

A blue sky/white clouds - looks like a church of some type in the middle with a pathway leading to it...small trees on the left and taller trees on the right.

Of any help?

we have one that fits your description numbered 134 of 200 like you we don't know the title and the total number of prints is different

the description I was referring too was the one with the church with twin towers and a guard building in front, it is nicely framed and 24x17 again 134/200
