"Embarkation of St. Paula Romana at Ostia" is a celebrated oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Claude Lorrain, whose real name was Claude Gellée. Created between 1637 and 1639, this artwork is a quintessential example of Lorrain's mastery in depicting serene landscapes imbued with classical antiquity and infused with a poetic atmosphere. The painting measures 211 by 145 centimeters and is currently housed in the Palazzo Barberini, Rome.

The painting illustrates the departure of Saint Paula, a noble Roman widow, from the port of Ostia to the Holy Land. This event is chronicled by Saint Jerome in his letter 108, which describes Paula's pilgrimage following the death of her husband and her desire to live a life of asceticism and piety. Lorrain's composition captures the emotional farewell between Paula and her family, set against the backdrop of a beautifully rendered harbor scene.

Lorrain was renowned for his landscapes, and in this work, he employs his signature treatment of light, space, and atmosphere to create a harmonious and idyllic scene. The classical architecture and the natural elements are bathed in a warm, golden light, typical of Lorrain's idealized portrayal of the natural world. The painting's foreground features the figures of Paula and her companions, while the middle ground is occupied by the bustling port activities, leading the viewer's eye towards the tranquil sea and the distant horizon in the background.

"Embarkation of St. Paula Romana at Ostia" is a prime example of Lorrain's influence on the development of landscape painting, and it remains a testament to his ability to blend narrative with nature, offering viewers a glimpse into a bygone era of classical grandeur and Christian devotion. The work is not only significant for its artistic merits but also for its contribution to the visual culture of the 17th century, reflecting the period's interest in antiquity and the lives of saints.
