Claudi

‘An example of how Finlay ‘signs’ the landscape, in this instance by recreating a scene from a painting by Claude Lorraine (whose paintings contain many elements important to Finlay – visions of Arcadia, idylls and ruins) – and then ‘signing’ the bridge with his name as an act of homage.’ George Gilliland, Gardener’s Tour
