Fishermen ashore and soldiers Oil on Canvas cm 76x99 Non-contemporary gilded frame Overall dimensions cm 95 x 115 cm Serving many noble Roman families, Andrea Locatelli lived through the cultural transformations of Rome between the late 17th and early 18th centuries. In his early years, he dedicated himself to allegorical painting with landscapes (famous for his grassy ruins, which were scenes with architecture and figures). As the 18th-century culture advanced, Locatelli embraced the Arcadian pastoral genre, which partly derived from a development of the School of the Bamboccianti that had characterized genre painting in Rome during the first half of the 17th century. I am attaching other photos of paintings with the same pictorial characteristics.
