Turkeys, Sheep And Rustic Utensils — Genre Sketch Italian School, 19th Cent
Turkeys, Sheep and Rustic Utensils — Genre Sketch
Italian School, 19th century (18th century not excluded)
Oil on card, laid on panel by a restorer (conservation intervention). 29 × 18.5 cm.
Two turkeys with dark plumage and vivid red wattles flank two sheep with ivory fleece, gathered around an earthenware pot and an overturned oval vessel.
The palette of warm browns and deep blacks, combined with the energetic handling of the fleece, places this work within the great animalier tradition of northern Italy — running from Jacopo Bassano and his Venetian workshop through the Lombard followers of the 17th century to the genre painters of the Po Valley. The pronounced chiaroscuro, light concentrated on the volumes of the animals, and the spare dark background recall the manner of the Bergamasque and Brescian painters, heirs to this rustic and vital tradition. No apparent signature.
