 Salucci's work reveals an awareness of the classical marine views of Claude Lorrain, who was active in Rome in the 1640s and 1650s.Claude's warm, golden light and balanced compositional structure are found in Salucci's works such as the "Fantasy view with figures" (Busiri-Vici collection, Rome) which was likely inspired by Claude's port views, such as "Seaport with the Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba" of 1648 (National Gallery, London).Alessandro Salucci often collaborated with specialist figure painters who painted the staffage in his architectural compositions.
