About the Item

Marco Ricci (Belluno 1676 – Venice 1730) Circle of Pair of Arcadian landscapes with figures Oil on canvas 56 x 72 cm. - Framed 77 x 93 cm. This pair of charming landscapes, executed with elegant rocaille taste and complete with attractive decorative frames, are conceived with the scenographic sensitivity of the most classic Venetian landscape tradition of the early 18th century. The works, of good pictorial quality, show clear references to the pictorial style of Marco Ricci (Belluno 1676 - Venice 1730), one of the most important protagonists of Venetian landscape painting of this period. The perspective, characterised by a succession of hills and rocky slopes, with mountains visible in the background in refined pale blue tones, is also modulated by the harmonious sequence of light and shadow, creating a remarkable effect of depth. Among the innovations introduced by Ricci in landscape painting is his experimentation with light and its atmospheric possibilities. The works under consideration share many details with many others by the master, such as the mountain ranges that dissolve into the background, the trees placed in the foreground to the side, as well as the small figures that animate the scene, in addition to the compositional cut of the view that expands in depth in a modulated succession of perspective planes. After a stay in England and Holland, where he gained first-hand knowledge of Northern painting, particularly the works of Pieter Mulier and Jacob de Heusch, Ricci moved towards new experimentation in the rendering of atmospheric luminosity. His new landscape style blended with the style in vogue in Venetian art, creating an unprecedented interpretation of landscape painting that was destined to enjoy extraordinary success and naturally inspired many painters close to him. Our two works, created by an artist who must certainly have seen and studied his compositions, are an excellent example of this, a fascinating combination of Venetian, Roman and Flemish painting. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The paintings are in good condition, complete with gilt frames not from the period. The works come with a certificate of authenticity and a descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both in Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.

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...

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...

Dughet Woodland Landscape Old master Paint Oil on canvas 17th Century Italy Art
By Gaspard Dughet, called Gaspard Poussin (Rome 1615 - 1675)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Gaspard Dughet, called Gaspard Poussin (Rome 1615 - 1675) - attributable to Wooded landscape of the Roman countryside with the Archangel Raphael and Tobiolo 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...
