At a late stage in my project, a photo of this copy arrived from the museum in Ajaccio and I compared the two to reflect on likeness and difference (as Röthlisberger did). The landscape echoes the original; however, the trees that frame the image are more dense and the foliage on the left side covers a greater part of the canvas and now leans out over the scene with the shepherds and Rebekah. It is as if time has gone by in the scene. The light looks as if it is later in the morning and that Rebekah has moved with the servant closer to the bridge. The shepherds look like different men; some of the strange scale of the figures has here been ‘corrected’, and other parts are sketchily painted while others are more detailed. Through the differences I can follow this copyist’s gaze and make guesses about his/her obsessions. The author of this copy is anonymous, the title is Passage, and it is now not exhibited or written about and is left stored in the museum’s storage facilities. No effort is made to maintain it, such as cleaning and restoration, and slowly its surface is being destroyed. Meanwhile, the original is treasured and scrupulously preserved and protected by the museum in Stockholm. 122 From serving as a witness of a lost original, this painting is now forgotten because of the presence of the returned original.
;)
122 It was hard to track down this copy, as the only image could be found in Röthlisberger’s book, Claude Lorrain – Paintings, and initially the museum did not find the paintings in their records nor in their storage. I had help by the French freelance curator Céline Kopp, who insisted that the copy was the museum’s possession. After they searched their storage area, they found the painting and photographed it, saying that it was in bad shape as it has not been restored. Source e-mails from Céline Kopp regarding her contact with the museum.
