Painted Landscape with Scene of Preaching 18th century

1700s

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Venetian school of the 18th century. The large northern landscape, with verdant mountain slopes in the midst of which a river flows, is inhabited by several figures in the foreground: a group of people are listening to a young man standing in the center, announcing something, pointing, with outstretched arm upward, the sun ripping through the dark clouds. It evokes a preaching of St. John the Baptist, although no iconographic elements specifically lead back to that character. The painting, restored and re-tinted, is mounted on an early 20th-century frame. It is presented in a coeval frame.
