Description: | Francesco Foschi specialised in winter landscapes that recall the paintings of the French artist Jean-Baptiste Pillement. Pillement's ornamental compositions became fashionable throughout Europe during the middle decades of the eighteenth century. This painting, with mountainous scenery, a cottage and small figures collecting wood, exemplifies the type of landscape that appealed to French collectors like the Marquis de Véri-Raionard, who owned eight works by Foschi, as well as paintings by Jean-Baptiste Greuze and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. In Foschi's works, French influences are combined with the Bolognese tradition which he had learnt from Francesco Mancini, with whom he studied in the 1720s. | Subjects: | landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Foschi, Francesco (Italian painter, active ca.1750) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9000... | Go to resource |
