FRANCESCO ANTONIANI Paisaje fluvial con figuras y puente, óleo sobre lienzo, 102x103,5 cm Este paisaje de grandes dimensiones puede atribuirse a Francesco Antoniani. El lienzo está magistralmente pintado con un hábil juego de luces y colores. La deuda de Francesco Antoniani con Scipione y Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli es evidente, tanto en la ambientación misma de la escena en la que se diluye un sincero espíritu pastoril, aunque menos complejo que el expresado en las composiciones arcádicas de los dos Cignaroli, como en los detalles pictóricos individuales. Los grupos de caminantes y animales se inspiran en estampas flamencas, especialmente de Nicolaes Berchem. El lienzo puede fecharse hacia 1760.
