About the Item
French School of Francois Boucher (Paris, 1703 - 1770)
Putti as Fishermen (Allegory of Water)
18th century
Oil on canvas
65 x 146 cm. - In frame 77 x 157 cm.
We present a splendid painting, the work of a French painter of the school of Francois Boucher (Paris, 1703 - 1770), depicting a triumph of the canons of the Rococo period, the lightest and at the same time most elegant of styles, capable of interpreting in painting the peculiarities of French society of the Ancien Régime.
Baroque painting with its exuberance and massive forms could not represent the aristocracy, which instead saw in luminosity, decorativism, grace and idyll a more prestigious and representative language.
The composition, which with its elongated shape suggests it was created as an overpainting, is taken from a composition entitled ‘Putti as Fishermen’, made in 1744 by François Boucher, one of whose versions is currently in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
In an idyllic landscape view overlooking a stretch of water, three putti are depicted naked and engaged in a playful fishing scene.
A putto, in a central position, stands on a bundle of hay, holding a fishing rod, and is immortalised with a proud expression after catching a small fish. On the left is a cherub turned in profile to the right, almost lying on the rock, in the act of showing a small fish to his companion, while the third, on the right, partially immersed in the water, holds a fishing rod, his gaze fixed on the observer.
The scene is full of movement and light and captures the carefree joy of childhood and the generosity of nature. The soft, rounded forms of the putti, the delicacy of the stroke and the pastel palette are characteristic of Boucher's Rococo style.
Preponderant is the feeling of gracefulness offered by the scene, emphasised by the graceful poses of the protagonists, defined with light, luminous colours, and enhanced by the beautiful play of chiaroscuro. Boucher casually uses the pastel range of his palette and naturally composes the attitudes of his figures.
To this type of subject, symbol par excellence of the frivolous pleasures of life to which the aristocratic class yearned, Francois Boucher and his workshop devoted a large part of their activity, thanks to the great fame of the master and the copious requests from collectors. Our work, chronologically placed in the second half of the 18th century, can be attributed to a pupil or studio assistant of the French painter.

Landscape with river and resting shepherds
First half of the 18th century
oil painting on canvas
cm. 60 x 93, within a carved and gilded wooden frame cm. 75 x 108
This delightful landscape view animated by a family of shepherds who rest from their daily duties should be compared to the hand of Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788);
In the landscapes painted by Zuccarelli the world is crystallized, frozen in a moment of idyllic quiet,
where the 'Arcadian' sense of the landscape is rendered with that pictorial vivacity, chromatic lightness and compositional grace that we find in its entirety in his painting.
By way of comparison we can compare our canvas to other compositions, including:
- Landscape with river and resting shepherds, Accademia Carrara, Bergamo
- Landscape with bridge and horseman, Accademia Carrara, Bergamo
- Landscape with river, village, fisherman and shepherdesses' (Christie's, London May 1960,

Coastal landscape with fortified city, castle with tower, and battle scene
oil painting on canvas
Measurements: canvas 90 x 120, with frame 104 x 134
This expansive coastal landscape, with a fortress-city overlooking the sea and a small castle with a watchtower, serves as the stage for an eventful battle scene between soldiers and, presumably, a band of brigands.
It is an illustrative typology attributable to Pandolfo Reschi (Danzica 1643 - Florence 1696), known for his works in which he perfectly combines the airy landscape of Tuscan-Roman matrix with images of knights in battle or brigands intent on their raids.
Pandolfo Reschi was born in Gdansk but from an early age he moved to Rome where he began his brilliant career following the style of Salvator Rosa, even if his real teacher was the Flemish-Italianized Livio Mehus. With Mehus and Rosa he refined his skills as a battle painter and was later taken to the workshop by the Borgognone, even if his main occupation was that of a genre painter.
The decisive turning point in his career came after his transfer to Florence, around the middle of 1660, where he continued his studies with Livio Mehus. After a decade he was now an established and highly coveted painter, so much so that in 1670 he was hired by the Medici court as protege of Cardinal Francesco Maria de Medici...

Paint Oil on canvas 17th Century Italy Mediterranean Landscapes Marina Flandre
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
We present this pair of fascinating coastal views, the fruit of the author's imagination, executed with an elegant descriptive taste and conceived with the scenographic sensitivity typical of the Flemish landscape tradition of the late seventeenth century. The canvases, in particular, fully reflect the pictorial style of the Flemish Peter van den Velde the Elder (Antwerp 1634-1707), a famous painter specialized in marine views with port cities and fortresses.
