About the Item
Giuseppe Zais (Canale d'Agordo, Belluno 1709 - Treviso 1781)
Pendant of paintings - The assault of the brigands / After the assault
Oil on canvas, 108 x 42 cm. each
In the frame 128 x 62 cm.
We would like to thank Doctor Federica Spadotto for having studied this pendant of paintings and for bringing them back to the catalog of Giuseppe Zais. Below is an excerpt from the in-depth critical study.
The Venetian landscape of the golden century has now accustomed the public and scholars to extraordinary - as well as unexpected - contaminations between genres, sealing an artistic stage that is very permeable to international influences. This happens, without a doubt, by virtue of the "forest" origin linked to the rural repertoire, which records the fundamental contribution of the references from beyond the Alps (Spadotto, 2014) with regard to the inspiration and the expressive alphabet of indigenous artists.
Among the latter, the experience of Giuseppe Zais (Belluno 1709 - Treviso 1781), a painter who emigrated to the city of the lion probably between the thirties and forties of the seventeenth century, is fundamental, where he would have conducted his apprenticeship with the battalist Francesco Simonini (Parma, 1686 - Venice or Florence, post 1755). It was, in fact, a common practice for any painter who aspired to an official role - that is, enrollment in the Fraglia - to practice alongside an established character, such as the Parma master. More than a real apprenticeship, it is necessary to imagine the young painter active as an apprentice grappling with the warlike themes that had made Simonini famous in the Lagoon, where orders flooded with the consequent need to entrust part of the work to a valid help (i.e. to our Joseph).
Only recently, or thanks to the pictorial essays made known by Egidio Martini, has a nucleus of paintings made by Giuseppe been identified (fig. 1) on strict adherence to his master's repertoire and which for a long time had been believed to be Simoninian autographs.
The analysis of these specimens highlights close affinities of form and style with respect to the counterparts of Francis, on which the Zais inserts some guiding characters that will become typical of his manner, among which the round tower and the characteristic physiognomy of the faces stands out. .
Over the years, our artist will archive this experience in favor of the sunny afternoons of Zuccarellian inspiration, as well as collaborating with his son Gaetano (documented between 1765 and 1798) in his chosen genre. And precisely a landscape created by the latter and made known by the writer offers an important documentary piece to shed light on the extreme creative season of Ours, passed over in silence from the sources and devoid of autograph works.
In the Landscape conceived with figures, statues and animals at watering (fig. 2) the Zais junior hands down a compendium of his father's production, expressed through a rather dense ductus and a chromatic range played on "earthy" tones, in harmony with the revival of Marco Ricci (Belluno, 1676-Venice, 1730) very popular in the second half of the 18th century. Moreover, Zuccarelli himself (Pitigliano, 1702-Florence, 1788) had yielded to the seduction of Belluno, creating the Hunt for the bull (fig. 3) now at the Gallerie dell 'Accademia in Venice, a true exemplum with respect to the theme, where the same pictorial ingredients mentioned above emerge.
The remarkable pendant object of examination fits into this horizon, which "scans" like a real testament the long artistic career of Joseph, from his beginnings as a specialist in battles to the extreme synthesis of the late eighteenth century.
Simonini's soldiers become knights at the mercy of an attack by brigands, who kill them and strip them of all possessions, as happens in After the assault, in which the compositional system of the post-battle camp hosts the outcome of the fatal crime, perpetrated by characters in whom we recognize the clothes and the phosonomy of the villagers immortalized by Giuseppe in the famous rural passages.
The taste for detail, of clear Zuccarellian ancestry, blends with a fast, immediate style, which does not betray, however, the definition of the foliage in the typical, large trees called to frame the scenes, where the inspiration of the aforementioned Ricci blends with the Northern European "fashion" which was prevalent in the Venetian figurative culture in the late eighteenth century.
In spite of what the public's taste expressed for most of the golden century, electing the languid Arcadian poetry as the territory of its aesthetic ideals, the decline of the Serenissima brings back the echoes of that "stepmother nature" frequented by the first generation of landscape artists, which returns, very current, as a metaphor for a world destined to become extinct about ten years after his death.

oil painting on canvas
second half of the 17th century
(cm.) 75 x 98, with frame 91 x 115
On the back old label inscribed "Monte dei Paschi di Siena"
The painting has characters clearly linked to the Roman culture of the seventeenth century and, in particular, to the works of Gaspard Dughet, an author who was able to achieve surprising results in describing the Lazio countryside with a unique grace and sensitivity.
Brother-in-law of Nicolas Poussin, of whom he was a pupil, Dughet is to be considered among the most important landscape painters of the Roman Baroque, highly sought after and celebrated by the aristocracy, a reference model for the artists of the following generation, such as Crescenzo Onofri, Jan Frans van Bloemen and Andrea Locatelli...

Landscape Zuccarelli Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Italian View

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

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...
