About the Item

Bartolomeo Pedon (1665-1732) – Fantasy Landscape Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 84 x 121 cm (unframed), 98 x 132 cm (framed) Provenance: Private collection This captivating oil painting by Bartolomeo Pedon, a Venetian artist active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, showcases his signature "capriccio" style—a fantastical interpretation of landscapes imbued with dramatic light and shadow. The scene presents a romanticized coastal setting, featuring ruins of an ancient fortress, sailing vessels, and an expansive sky filled with dynamic clouds, evoking a sense of mystery and nostalgia. Pedon's work is distinguished by his unique approach to Venetian landscape painting, which blends the grandeur of Salvator Rosa’s dramatic compositions with the poetic luminosity of Marco Ricci’s vedute. The skillful use of chiaroscuro enhances the contrast between the sunlit clouds and the deep shadows of the castle ruins, lending the painting an atmospheric depth that is both theatrical and immersive. This painting embodies the Venetian Baroque fascination with imaginative landscapes, where reality and fantasy merge. Pedon, though less documented than some of his contemporaries, was highly regarded for his ability to infuse his landscapes with emotion and a dreamlike quality, making his works sought after by collectors of Old Masters and Venetian school paintings. Presented in an ornate gilt frame, this painting is a remarkable addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of 18th-century Venice and its enduring legacy in European art history.

Landscape See Paint Oil on canvas Flemish Old master 18th Century Italian Art
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Flemish painter active in Italy in the eighteenth century Coastal landscape of the Mediterranean with architectures and figures Oil painting on canvas (69 x 88 cm., in frame 80 x 100 cm.) The suggestive view proposed depicts a coastal view with a bay and the ruins of an ancient building, probably a monastery or a church, and in the background another building with a garden surrounded by high walls close to the shore. The type of landscape, typical of the southern Italian environment, and the intimate atmosphere that welcomes the scene, attributes the authorship of the work to a landscape painter active in the eighteenth century, presumably in Italy in this period, with immediate references to the Dutch school , and in particular to the production of Jacob de Heusch and above all of Gaspar van Wittel, considered the progenitor of Italian landscape painting. In fact, in the rendering of the architectural details, in the purity with which the buildings have been reconstructed, as well as in the atmosphere that encompasses the entire landscape, a marked correspondence to the so-called "Vanvitellian realism" can be seen: in fact, a comparison with a certain series of views which the Dutchman...
