Description: | This dark painting shows a landscape with a woody foreground, in which is seen a group of travellers. Beyond, contrasting with the dark foreground, is a lighter desolate plateau, and further back the view is closed by the sharp forms of a range of mountains covered in snow. The painter has placed the horizon line quite low in the painting, in order to give prominence to a cloudy sky in the background and a dramatically wind-swept tree in the foreground. Through the use of colour, the artist created an illusion of depth and gelid air. | Subjects: | figure; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Magnasco, Alessandro (Italian painter and draftsman, 1667-1749) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Ricci, Marco (Italian painter and draftsman, 1676-1730) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8539... | Go to resource |
