Description: | Both the influence of Marco Ricci's bucolic pastoral scenes, as well as Zuccarelli's softer approach are present in this Landscape with figures, today attributed to Giuseppe Zais (1709-1781) after a long attribution to Zuccarelli. Zais, born in Belluno where he probably received his first training, moved to Venice in 1725-30 where he produced very popular idealised landscapes. Landscape with figures shows a composition, and atmosphere close to e.g. Landscape with ruined tower (oil on canvas, 70.2 x 95.9 cm, National Gallery, London), which is dated to the last two decades of Zais' career. This and the Zuccarelli influence present in this work, would place Landscape with figures in the period 1760-1781. | Subjects: | landscape (Italian); figure; animal | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Zais, Giuseppe (Italian painter, 1709-1781) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to manner of Zuccarelli, Franco (Italian painter, 1702-1788) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8788... | Go to resource |
