Alessandro Brusati

Alessandro Brusati (CARPI 1707 - 1780). Coastal landscape with architecture, with coeval frame. Oil on canvas. cm36x43. Carpi painter Alessandro Brusati was a pupil at the Academy of Modena of Antonio Consetti and later active alongside Giuseppe Barnaba Solieri known as Fra Stefano da Carpi. Specializing in interior decoration and perspective quadratura work, he also produced, according to what his biographer Eustachio Cabassi recounts (18th cent., ed. 1986, pp. 29-30), oil-on-canvas paintings of architecture. His modus operandi is always the same; he used to employ simple architectural elements in ruins, depicted in foreshortening and placed in the background of marinas, with small extras in the foreground. The color scheme is also always the same, soft pastel hues characteristic of the rocaille taste. It is also evident in his works how the Carpi artist was not unfamiliar with suggestions of the Venetian architectural caprices of the so-called Master of the Blue Mountains. His paintings are preserved at the Museo Civico in Carpi, the Musei Civici in Modena and the Museo Civico Gonzaga in Novellara.
