I've always enjoyed the paintings of landscape artist Claude Lorrain, as well as the writings of Dostoevsky. And there is a connection between the two. In one his novels, Dostoevsky describes a sinless paradise as portrayed in the Lorrain painting "Acis and Galatea." I've always found something relaxing about Lorrain's paintings. When I lived in the Washington, D.C. area I used to visit the National Gallery of Art which has a number of Lorrain's works.
