Gaetano Vetturali (Lucca, 1701-1783) 18th Century Architectural Capriccio Gaetano Vetturali Landscape Oil on Canvas
About the Item
Oil painting on canvas measuring 85 x 110 cm without frame and 103 x 126 cm with frame depicting a landscape with figures along the path.
In the work in question, depicting a large country piece, the youthful poetics of Gaetano Vetturali (Lucca 1701 – 1783), the last epigone of the great Tuscan landscape tradition, are displayed.
In this painting we can see the Arcadian research of the landscape with an atmospheric research that pervades the entire composition, as well as the realistic verve of some passages where the pulsating luministic charge becomes a manner.
Vetturali was able to establish himself as one of the most interesting Tuscan personalities of the time, in that moment of transition from the late Baroque and rococo culture to the neoclassical one precisely because of the turning point he imprinted with a certain genius on the decorative taste of his time.
To further strengthen this thesis on the skillful pictorial art of the painter, the characteristics of the pictorial rendering come to our aid in the use of a very luminous material, in the peremptory detachment between areas in light and those in shadow, in the execution of the lively figures that populate the theatrical scaffolding and in the rendering of the landscapes that we find identical in his most important paintings.
The success of our painter is all contained in his ability to welcome neoclassical poetics in an unconventional way by grafting it onto his first classical education and then linking up with those examples of Venetian painting which in the field of architectural caprice had singularly anticipated aspects of the neoclassical culture of the late XVIII century first with Battaglioli and then with Visentini.
The main characteristics of this canvas are the airy breadth of the panoramas and the sense of diffused luminosity which recall the Pedon revisited with a neoclassical tone.
The episodes do not have a precise meaning, they are almost a country pastime so dear to the artist with the usual characters from the repertoire of painters of whims and views, or beggars, abbots contemplating ancient tombstones or peasants seeking rest or work, the all of course always immersed in the undisputed dominating nature and symbol of unity between man and life.
The paintings and works of art published here are my exclusive property and therefore are always available to be viewed, by appointment, in my exhibition sites located in Sanremo and Brescia.

- ROME - In the Manner of G.Vanvitelli - Italian Landscape Oil on Canvas PaintingBy Ettore FerranteLocated in Napoli, ITRome - Ettore Ferrante Italia 2002 - Oil on canvas cm. 45x95 In this precious oil painting Ettore Ferrante is inspired by the views of the Dutch neutralized Italian painter Gaspar Adriaensz van Wittel, known as Casper, and known in Italy as Gaspare Vanvitelli. In particular this is a reinterpretation of the painting "View of the Tiber with Castel Sant'Angelo and San Pietro in the background" by Vanvitelli. Taken from the left bank of the river, the view has its focal point in the circular mass of Castel Sant’Angelo, the pontifical fortress built on the central core of Hadrian's mausoleum and enriched with ramparts and patrol paths overlooking the water. In the background of the view, the Vatican basilica with the papal palaces responds to the vestiges of imperial power, while in the center the Sant'Angelo bridge, adorned with statues painted between 1669 and 1671 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his pupils, connects the two banks replacing the ancient Aelius bridge built by Hadrian. No less interesting is the minor urban fabric...Category
