About the Item
Venetian school of the second half of the 18th century. Oil painting on canvas depicting an Arcadian landscape of pastoral genre. This type of pictorial representation established itself in the 18th century, alongside the view and the architectural capriccio, inspired by the rules of the Arcadian Academy. The new rules of Arcadia imposed clear and appropriate manners, playful rhythm and elegant form. These regulations dominated Italian pictorial culture from the early 18th century, known as the Arcadian Rococo. The painting depicts in the foreground, on the left, a couple of lovers sitting on a rock. In front of them a small dog runs in the meadow, while on the right some cows graze and drink from a body of water. Behind them, in the background, a flock of sheep and a wooden hut-like building with straw roofs are depicted. The described landscape, at times wooded, moves away toward the horizon, marked by some rocky reliefs. Other figures of shepherds and wayfarers stroll in the distance, animating the composition. Stylistically, this painting presents similarities with 18th-century Venetian painting. In Venice, the greatest representatives of the Arcadian landscape were the Tuscan Francesco Zuccarelli (1702 - 1788) and his pupil Giuseppe Zais (1709 - 1784). Many painters followed the great masters, taking inspiration from their compositions to satisfy the vast demand for commissions. The author of this painting must be sought among these artists, a follower of the styles of Zuccarelli and Zais and active in the second half of the 18th century. 20th-century frame in carved and gilded wood, with some signs of aging. Artwork already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and repainting in small spots. Overall in excellent condition. Sight size H 73 x W 98 cm.

Large 18th Century Dutch Oil on Canvas Painting of a Southern Landscape, 56x67
Located in Dallas, TX
Measuring 56 H x 67 W, this large Dutch oil on canvas painting from the 1700s depicts a Southern landscape of a glen beneath a rocky cliff. The expansive valley stretches far into the distance, before terminating at a lake in front of a mountain. Numerous flocks of sheep can be seen throughout the basin, including a group high up on the towering cliff with green trees dotting the sand-colored rock. Most of the flocks in the distance are being tended to by shepherds, but interestingly, a group of four men has gathered in the foreground to engage in leisurely activities as their sheep, cows, goat, and dog await nearby. A few chateaus can be seen in the distance, but most of the architecture is in the style of a capriccio, in that they are dilapidated. The top of a stone obelisk is missing and there are some losses to the inscribed pedestal next to it that supports a lidded urn. Large pieces of broken rock are scattered about, with one slab being used as a seat/table for two shepherds playing cards. Several birds fly in the blue sky, with the setting sun giving the clouds hues of gray, orange, and pink. The peaceful scene is surrounded by a brown wood frame with a thin undulating gilt border that edges the canvas.
