Marco Ricci (1676-1729) - Landscape With Fishermen
Marco Ricci (1676-1729) -Landscape with fishermen
Oil on canvas,
83.5 x 63cm.
Old frame from the 17th century.
We date this work from the beginning of Marco Ricci's career, around 1700, when he was still influenced by painters such as Salvator Rosa, Magnasco and Peruzzini, with whom he collaborated.
This influence manifests itself in his lively, richly textured, sometimes tormented brushstrokes, such as those used by the artist to execute the sky in blue-gray tones.
As for the sky and clouds, they are treated with an unusual, comma-shaped, rapidly brushed brushstroke that is sometimes found in his engravings dating from the beginning of his career.
These tormented landscapes with imposing, twisting trees, sometimes uprooted or pelted by successive storms, are characteristic of the Neapolitan Baroque landscape painters of the early 18th century.
