Workshop of Johann Anton Eismann (1604-1698)
Landscape with ruins and figures
Oil on canvas, 110.5 x 93 cm
Framed, 123 x 104 cm
The background depicts a rocky shoreline facing the sea with some buildings clinging to the cliff edge and others built along the tongues of land that close the small gulfs and inlets of the coast. A few boats ply the waters, and the sketched figures of the men can barely be glimpsed aboard the boats; the woman and child in the foreground are more clearly distinguished but without detracting the viewer's attention from the grand panorama, caught in the twilight phase of the day. The elongated shadows, the sky ablaze with the last lights, and the warm colors rendered by the sunset rays immerse us in the exact moment of the day, now coming to an end. Luministic effects reverberate on the changing sky from yellow to blue, on the rocks between reddish and ochre, and on the almost evanescent surface of the sea. In contrast, the backlit parts fade to darker and cooler tones, creating a natural and gradual contrast between the various sections of the painting. The geographic origin of the work is moreover revealed to us by the boat, similar to the bucintoro of the Venetian Doges, red and gold whose prow peeks out into the sea strip just in front of the trabeated columns and fountain in the foreground. In addition, the skillful use of colors, shown in such a wide range and rendered in dense glazes, reveals even more the closeness to the Venetian school. In fact, the work, by stylistic and compositional proximity, can be traced back to the Austrian painter but active in Verona and Venice Johann Anton Eismann (1604-1698).
Johann Anton Eismann, a native of Salzburg, left an indelible mark on the artistic landscape of the 17th century. After studying mathematics in Munich and honing his painting skills at the court of the Bavarian Elector Prince, Eismann moved to Rome in 1650. It was in the Eternal City that he specialized in the battle genre, fascinated by the works of the great Venetian masters such as Tintoretto, Titian, and Paolo Veronese. In Rome, Eismann forged important collaborations with the likes of Salvator Rosa, Michelangelo Cerquozzi and Giovanni Ghisolfi, thus expanding his training and stylistic repertoire. In 1653, attracted by the lively art scene in the Serenissima, he moved to Venice, where he received prestigious commissions from important figures of the time, including Count Mathias van der Schulenberg and Prince-Bishop Charles of Liechtenstein Catelcorno. Eismann's output is extremely versatile: from battle scenes to vivid port paintings, from striking landscapes to portraits, his work spans a wide range of subjects. His style, characterized by great technical mastery and chromatic vividness, exerted a profound influence on later painters, particularly Luca Carlevarijs, considered the precursor of the Venetian veduta. In turn, Carlevarijs would pass on this legacy to the young Canaletto, giving rise to one of the most celebrated schools of painting in art history.
The Venetian nobility, appreciating his skill and versatility, kept Eismann constantly busy, giving him numerous assignments. The artist also decided to adopt one of his students, Carlo Brisighella, to whom he passed on his knowledge and style. Brisighella, who would take the stage name Charles Eismann, would continue to paint the same subjects as the master, thus perpetuating his artistic legacy.
Venice would be the city that welcomed Eismann until his death in 1698. The Austrian artist, with his rich and varied oeuvre, left an indelible mark on the history of art, contributing significantly to the development of 17th-century Venetian painting.
Numerous references can be found in other works in the painter's catalog, look at the Architectural Capriccio with herds
From the National Gallery of Prague,the Landscape with Waterfall from the Morandotti Foundation, Rome but also the Mediterranean Port with Figures from the Vicenza Civic Museums by his son Brisighella.

Expert opinion Prof. Emilio Negro
Recognizable in the present pair of paintings is the hand of what Mina Gregori called "the most original and path-breaking landscape painter to emerge in the late seventeenth century," namely Antonio Francesco Peruzzini. Finally identified by Arslan in 1959 as such a "Perugino," author of a St. Sebastian in a private Milanese collection, Peruzzini has in recent times been reevaluated from his former qualification as a mere subordinate of Lissandrino (Alessandro Magnasco), in comparison with whom he turns out to be an excellent coadjutor and original landscape painter. A distant mountainous horizon, of frozen vigor, is proposed in both canvases interspersed with a spindly tree in the background that screws swirlingly to the sky. The anti-academicism and nonconformism that characterized Peruzzini's entire career appear evident here and justify in retrospect his choice of such figurative collaborators as Magnasco and Sebastiano Ricci...
