 CLAUSEN "Liber Veritatis," a collection of 200 draw- ings, owned by the Duke of Devonshire, was begun about 1634, and finished March 25, 1675, as a record of work projected as well as accomplished, and not probably, as is generally supposed, to guarantee the authenticity of all the pictures which left Claude's studio. In the height of his fame, the painter was patronised at Rome by the King of Spain and the Elector of Bavaria, Prince Doria, the Dukes de B6- thune and de Crequy, and many other dis- tinguished persons. From the church of the Trinita di Monte, where he was buried, and where his monument was destroyed by theFrench in 1798, his remains were removed in 1840 to the church of S. Luigi in Frau- cesi at the suggestion of M. Thiers.
