Archive Label: This is a preparatory work for a larger painting of the same title in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. While he was born in the United States and considered himself an American, Vedder spent almost his entire life in Rome; The Lost Mind was painted in New York, however. The landscape probably depicts the Balze, a badlands region of Italy in Volterra, that fascinated both Vedder and the French painter Corot.
