18th Century, Italian Painting Depicting Landscape with Watermill and Characters

About the Item

18th century, Italian painting depicting landscape with watermill and characters Oil on canvas; Measurements: frame cm L 103.5 x H 127 x P 5; painting L 93 x H 117.5 The painting, made in oil on canvas in Piedmont, north of Italy, around the middle of the 18th century, depicts a country landscape with a stream on the right. A characteristic building of the time and rural areas is equipped with a water mill next to the river. On the right in the background a stone bridge leads from one bank to the other. The scene is enlivened by some characters placed in the foreground. Two women and a man, dressed in peasant clothes, approach a fishmonger, who, leaning on a pool of water, is intent on giving the catch. On the right bank of the river you can see a fisherman, with the rod in the water, while on the bridge some travellers on foot and on horseback are close to crossing it. The landscape is enriched by tall and lush green trees, small houses in the distance on a hill that fades to the horizon. The sky, blue and clear, is marked by some clouds and some ducks in flight. The overall composition is pleasant, balanced in the elements described and in the color palette used, clear and bright. The author of the work, very decorative and pleasant, should be sought among the painters active in the Piedmont area in the mid-eighteenth century who were inspired by the works of the famous court painters. The painting is presented with a carved and gilded wooden frame.
