Genoese school around 1700, in the taste of Magnasco People at rest in a landscape Oil on canvas in oval (lined at the beginning of the 19th century) 124 x 92 cm (Accident in the center) In its antique frame with ribbons and laurel leaves Son of the Ancona painter Domenico Peruzzini, Francesco traveled to several Italian cities before settling in Bologna for four years, between 1682 and 1686. He worked there with Sebastiano Ricci. In 1703, he settled in Tuscany under the patronage of Ferdinand de Medici, and collaborated with Alessandro Magnasco. In 1712, he followed Magnasco to Milan and collaborated with him until the 1720's. He painted the landscapes for which Magnasco posed the characters, and his fiery, almost expressionist style was in perfect harmony with the extravagances of the Genoese painter. Peruzzini's world is that of an exuberant nature that derives from Salvator Rosa, often rocky and wild, where small schematically treated figures are scattered in the landscape. The artist often used oval or round formats.
