About the Item

Figures in an Arcadian Landscape Italian School, 18th century follower of Claude Lorrain (French 1600-1682) oil painting on canvas: 28 x 36 inches framed: 39.5 by 47 inches presented in ornate gilt frame condition: very good, relined canvas and in ready to hang order provenance: private collection, Wiltshire, England This highly impressive classical landscape, dating from the 18th century, is a true testament to the elaborate 'Grand Tour' paintings that were purchased by the English aristocracy, on their travels throughout Europe in the 19th century. The work is based on the earlier composition by Lorrain and painted on this large scale looks magnificent: an ideal 'Country House' painting. Beautiful details and painted with much warmth and quality, capturing this Arcadian Roman classical landscape. The composition features a lush, idyllic countryside with towering trees framing the scene. In the foreground, a group of people dressed in classical attire are engaged in various activities—some appear to be resting, while others are playing music or dancing. Nearby, cows graze by the water, and a shepherd tends to his flock. The middle ground showcases a river with small boats navigating its calm waters. A bridge spans the river, connecting both sides of the landscape. On the left side, a series of grand, classical-style buildings with domed roofs evoke the ruins of an ancient civilization. The background extends into a misty, atmospheric cityscape with distant mountains, suggesting a harmonious blend of nature and civilization. Cascading waterfalls on the right add movement and a romantic element to the scene. The painting is rich in warm tones and soft light, creating an almost dreamlike quality, characteristic of the idealized pastoral landscapes of the Baroque and Neoclassical periods.
