FLEMISH PAINTER ACTIVE IN ITALY IN THE 16TH CENTURY
Landscape with Figures
Oil on canvas, 71.7X97.5 cm
Provenance:
Milan, private collection
The refined painterly character, the charm inferred from the works of Salvator Rosa, Gaspard Dughet and Pietro da Cortona diluted here by a sensitivity freed from naturalistic observance, lead to an attribution of the painting to Pandolfo Reschi (Danzig, 1640 ; Florence, 1696). Nevertheless, the drafts and atmospheric sensibility, as well as suggesting adherence to Baroque taste, indicate an early date of execution for the northern concreteness. The overall character presents that synthesis of touches that can be traced back to the painter's landscape catalogue, which composes his scenes with characters outlined by a rapid stroke and invigorated by fat brushstrokes of colour and effective luministic effects that shape the landscape. Reschi, who arrived in Florence at the end of the seventh decade of the 17th century, became the leading painter in the Tuscan capital, gaining the protection of major patrons such as Marquis Gerini, Prince Corsini and Cardinal Francesco Maria de Medici, in whose service he remained from the early 1780s until his death. The compositions of his maturity in which we place our canvas combine the revival of schemes taken from Cortona with a lightened palette and inflections of Nordic taste, with pre-eighteenth-century results.
