Description

Francesco Zuccarelli (1702 Pitigliano - 1788 Florence) Arcadian Italian landscape with shepherds resting by a river A wide, atmospheric view of a tree-lined ideal landscape bathed in warm evening light, with an old fortified town in the background. After studying in Rome, the artist settled in Venice in 1732, where he turned to landscape painting. In Venice, Zuccarelli met the important art patron and later British consul Joseph Smith, through whom he traveled to England for the first time in 1742. Through his long stays in London, where he lived, painted and exhibited, he gained a large circle of collectors there. Zuccarelli preferred to enliven his ideal landscapes with a more or less rich cast of figures borrowed from mythology, the Bible or the Arcadian genre. He was influenced by Claude Lorrain, Nicolas and Gaspard Poussin (Dughet). Oil on canvas; signed lower right with a small pumpkin symbolizing his Italian name. 72 cm x 92 cm. Frame. Oil on canvas. Signed with a small pumpkin as artist's sign for his Italian name.
