About the Item

Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788) - River landscape with knights and medieval village. 53 x 70 cm without frame, 64.5 x 80.5 cm with frame. Antique oil painting on canvas, in a carved and gilded wooden frame. We thank prof. Dario Succi for having orally confirmed the attribution of the painting. Condition report: Painting subjected to relining. Excellent state of conservation of the pictorial surface. Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788) was one of the greatest landscape painters of the Italian eighteenth century, his unique style became famous in Italy and abroad, where the most refined collectors purchased his now unmistakable idyllic landscapes. He studied in Florence and later in Rome, where he mainly tried his hand at sacred and historical painting, but his fortune began when he moved to Venice where he turned to the genre of the Arcadian landscape. Among his main clients was the famous consul Joseph Smith, through whom he became one of the most appreciated artists in England, accumulating a great fortune. Zuccarelli's landscapes do not represent nature in a realistic or detailed way, but rather as an idyllic place flooded with serenity and light. His style, inspired by Rococo, emphasizes grace and elegance while maintaining a certain simplicity in the representation, avoiding the excess of ornaments typical of the period. In fact, his paintings evoke a sense of peace and tranquility thanks to the use of harmonious compositions, a clear perspective and a well-balanced arrangement of hills, trees and waterways. The colors are often soft and nuanced, with warm light that helps create a welcoming and bright atmosphere. In our painting we find a unique iconography in the Master's production, which places a mysterious knight covered by a red cloak at the center of the landscape and two other characters on horseback following him. They are inserted in an imagined hilly landscape, where Zuccarelli places some of his typical elements such as the stream that flows between the rocks, the vegetation with almost evanescent foliage and the village with the little church in the background. - All shipments are free and professionally packed. - This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity. - Further details on the condition report are available upon request. *Please keep in mind that this work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy from the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.

Landscape Zuccarelli Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Italian View
By Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788), circle of 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, - Landscape with figures, Accademia Carrara, - Landscape with knight and figures, Accademia Carrara Tuscan by origin, Francesco Zuccarelli trained first in Florence with the landscape architect Paolo Anesi...
