Description: | Genre painting was popularised in Italy by artists such as Giuseppe Maria Crespi, who defied the anti-genre strictures of the prevailing artistic theory in Italy in the early eighteenth century. The next generation of artists that followed his lead included Giambattista Piazzetta, Pietro Longhi and Giacomo Ceruti, and the genre became fairly widespread throughout the second half of the century. Officially frowned upon, the chief exponents of the genre remained the Netherlandish painters resident in Rome known as Bamboccianti. Here, three young men are depicted playing dice in the street. One young figure is clearly derived from Murillo. | Subjects: | everyday life (dice game); figure (peasants) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8392... | Go to resource |
