Description: | This landscape in the style of Salvator Rosa reflects the growing popularity of that artist for his dramatic compositions that celebrated the countryside around Naples. In this painting figures are depicted against a dramatic background of rocky caves. The landscape is reminiscent of the scenery around Nisidia and Naples, views which were first depicted in the early work of Rosa. These mountainous landscapes offered a dramatic contrast to the more controlled, Italianate landscapes of Claude and Poussin. | Subjects: | landscape; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Rosa, Salvator (Italian painter and engraver, 1615-1673) Æ Attributed to school of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8340... | Go to resource |
