Scuola dell’Italia settentrionale (XVII-XVIII) - Paesaggio invernale con borgo

“ Winter landscape with a village, travelers, and a watercourse “ School of Northern Italy, late 17th – first half of the 18th century Oil on canvas in a frame of the period Measurements: 115.3 x 85 cm (100 x 69 cm) Large winter landscape with a scenographic goût, characterized by an articulated mountainous view traversed by a watercourse and animated by architectures, bridges and numerous figures. The composition is dominated by the monumental bare tree in the foreground, a strongly theatrical element that leads the eye toward the village and the snow-covered mountains in the background. The work appears attributable to the Northern Italian landscape tradition from the late 17th to the early 18th century, into which evident influences from Flemish and Nordic painting converge. In terms of staging, taste for harsh and fantastic nature, and construction of landscape backdrops, comparable references can be made, by way of comparison, to the environments of Veneto-Lombard painting and the figurative culture that developed around Antonio Francesco Peruzzini (1643/46–1724). Attribution: School of Northern Italy, late 17th – first half of the 18th century, in the milieu of Veneto-Lombard landscape painters Condition report; The canvas has been re-lined and mounted on a later-era frame; it is accompanied by an important gilded wooden frame.
