Winter Landscape Foschi Paint 18th CEntury Paint Oil on canvas Old master Italy

1730-1760

About the Item

Francesco Foschi (Ancona, 1710 - Rome, 1780) Attributable Winter landscape Oil on canvas 76 x 63 cm. - In frame 87 x 75 cm. The compositional and stylistic elements of this pleasant snowy landscape allow us to link its authorship to the painter Francesco Foschi (Ancona, 1710 - Rome, 1780), who became famous for his evocative winter landscapes. Ancona-born and of noble origins, the painter received his training in Rome where he moved with his family in 1729, and later began his activity as an art dealer when he took up his last residence in Piazza di Spagna in 1764. It was around the middle of the century that Foschi began to devote himself to landscape painting, specialising in country views and winter landscapes such as ours, a genre already widespread in Flanders since the 16th century but little frequented in Italy, except by a few Venetian painters such as Marco Ricci or Giuseppe Bison. Foschi's winter landscapes, in particular, often depict views of his Apennines, and were very popular especially with wealthy foreigners who travelled the Italian peninsula from north to south on their Grand Tour. Many of his canvases took the route to the English and French markets, the latter proving particularly favourable to his production, where he was known in his painterly maturity as 'Chevalier Foschi'. Recurrent in Foschi's paintings is the bare tree (or group of trees) in the foreground covered in snow, which almost constitutes a signature of the artist, as well as the motif of the small bridge and the classic country cottages with thatched roofs. As is often the case in this type of work, the author tends to accentuate the presence of nature, making the characters on a smaller scale. Our attribution would be confirmed by comparison with 'A winter landscape with peasants next to farmsteads' painted by Francesco Foschi - with a compositional structure perfectly superimposable to the proposed canvas but in a horizontal format - and passed at Christie's in London (Old Master Pictures, 10 Dec 2003, lot 89). Another extremely similar composition is the painting, 'Winter Landscape with River, Bridge, Rustic House and Figures', which passed through Sotheby's and was again attributed to Francesco Foschi (5 July 1970, lot 10) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The painting is completed by an attractive antique gilded wooden frame and is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card.

Galante Scene Vermeer d'Utrecht Paint Oil on canvas 18th Century Flemish Old Art
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Flemish painter of the 18th century - Follower of Jan van der Meer, called Vermeer d'Utrecht (Schoonhoven, verses 1630 - 1692) Courtship scene at the entrance of an inn oil on canvas, 70 x 62 cm. (with frame 80 x 72 cm.) This pleasant genre scene, depicting a young innkeeper conversing amiably with a gentleman as she prepares to serve him wine in a glass goblet that she still holds in her hand, is inspired by the painting made in 1653 by the Dutch painter Jan van der Meer, known as Vermeer d'Utrecht, and today kept in Paris at the Louvre Museum. Set outside an inn or a post station, the scene illustrates the theme of seduction, with the young waitress being courted by the client, a charming traveler with a changing red cloak, who tries to charm her. Yes, it is a work that harmoniously combines the painter's Dutch origins, with the stylistic characters learned during his training in his homeland, with the Italian-like characters learned during his trip to Italy around 1655. In Rome, in particular, he met and collaborated with various authors of the Bamboccianti school, first of all Jan Miel...
