Eighteenth Century Italian School Oil on Canvas
$1,600.00
An atmospheric landscape painting showing the outskirts of a village near a waterfall, with the river cutting between two buildings. Tiny figures, possibly in classical dress, the sort known in 17th and 18th century art as “staffage,” populate the lower part of the canvas, looking out at the glowing distant land with the soft outline of a mountain at the farthest point. Frame is later.
