Description: | This Italianate landscape with its rural countryside, rustic villas and winding composition bears many similarities to Gaspard Dughet's paintings of Tivoli. A contemporary of Nicolas Poussin, and himself a prominent seventeenth-century landscapist, the influence of Dughet's work was widespread. Although this painting was probably only a study, the rather heavy brushwork and slightly skewed perspective do not reflect the skill and delicacy associated with Dughet's technique. The style of canvas, the stretcher, and the use of a dark red ground, are all consistent with paintings of that period, however. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dughet, Gaspard (French landscape painter, 1615-1675, active in Italy) Æ Attributed to manner of Attributed to manner of Onofri, Crescenzio (Italian landscapist, after 1632-after 1712) Previously attributed to manner of Poussin, Nicolas (French painter and draftsman, 1594-1665, active in Italy) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8970... | Go to resource |
