Landscape Paint Oil on canvas 18th Century Old master Roma Italy River Water Art

1720-1780

About the Item

Roman landscape painter of the eighteenth century - Entourage by Paolo Anesi (Rome 1697 - 1773) River landscape of the Lazio countryside, with the Tiber flowing between some villages and a ruined arch II half XVIII century oil on canvas, (cm.) 37 x 54, framed x 55 x 62 The painting has characters clearly linked to the Roman landscape tradition of the eighteenth century and, in particular, to the works of Paolo Anesi (Rome 1697 - 1773), one of the most appreciated artists by travelers on the Grand Tour, especially English, as well as being in great demand for enrich the already important Capitoline collections. His stylistic imprint brilliantly combines the optical clarity of Van Wittel and Lint, with the tradition of the ideal landscape made famous by Van Bloemen. In Anesi, however, there is a 'romantic' sensibility, strengthened by a particular attention to luministic values, contiguous to the examples of Venetian landscape art disclosed by Marco Ricci and Francesco Zuccarelli. The ruins of a Roman arch contribute to identifying the territory in which we find ourselves, evoking the idea of ​​the landscape that surrounds the city of Rome, and the course of the Tiber that marks the balanced overlapping of the perspective planes, which can be traveled by eye through the course of the river itself. The effect has a pleasant scenic impact, not only for the accuracy with which the landscape is described, but also for the skilful harmony of the chromatic and luministic counterpoints. The scenography, while respectful of reality, betrays a fantasy for atmospheric values ​​capable of transfiguring the view, reproducing the atmospheric sensitivity of the air imbued with light, evoking a delicate Arcadian emotionality. The painting is in excellent condition, perfectly restored, accompanied by a pleasant golden frame. The work, like all our objects, is sold with a certificate of photographic authenticity in accordance with the law. For any information, do not hesitate to contact us.

  • Christ Jesus Lama Religious Paint Oil on canvas 17/18 th Century Old master
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Giovan Battista Lama (Naples, 1673 - 1748) workshop Exaltation of the Holy Cross with the Symbols of the Passion oil on canvas 84 x 135 cm. - with frame 98 x 148 cm. The proposed painting is the work of a Neapolitan painter active at the beginning of the 18th century, although the composition betrays the influence of the Roman classicism prevailing at the end of the 17th century, discernible in the serene and casual atmosphere. This is a very interesting subject, namely the Exaltation of the Cross, a particular feast in Christian theology, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus with the particular aim of emphasising the centrality of the mystery of the cross. We see precisely Jesus, bowed in prayer in the company of an angel, while a host of angels above hold the most relevant symbols of his Passion (in Latin, arma Christi), namely the objects that were used for the crucifixion. These include, of course, the cross held by the major angel, and then the nails (three or four), the crown of thorns the lance with which Jesus was pierced, Veronica's veil (the linen cloth that St Veronica...
