Bartolomeo Pedon
"Fantasy Landscape"

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.
