Description
Landscape with Figures, Venetian School, 18th century Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard, 36 x 56 cm The landscape is brought to life by small figures and animals set amongst architectural elements and natural backdrops, in keeping with the scenographic approach characteristic of early 18th-century landscape painting.Particularly characteristic is the rendering of the figures, constructed through rapid, textured and highly dynamic brushstrokes, with dense highlights that succinctly define their gestures and movements. This style evokes the vibrant artistic milieu that flourished between Venice and northern Italy from the late 17th century to the early decades of the 18th century, in which artists such as Marco Ricci and Antonio Francesco Peruzzini were active, in close dialogue with that energetic, abbreviated style of painting of which Alessandro Magnasco is one of the most original exponents.The freedom of the brushstrokes and the relationship between the vastness of the landscape and the lively figurative elements thus place the work within the context of 18th-century Venetian landscape painting, which was influenced by contemporary Lombard and Genoese traditions.
