Painting in the style of Marco Ricci

Oil on canvas. In a winter countryside landscape, sprinkled with snow, on the bare, gloomy, arid nature, a path winds amidst completely bare trees leading to the village, and some wayfarers pass along it, while some woodcutters are at work on the side. A sky full of dark cloudiness hangs over everything, although a glimpse of blue opens on the left. The style refers to the production of Marco Ricci, a painter from Belluno who made a name for himself thanks to his undeniable talent for naturalistic and architectural representation. His landscapes, still in a distinctly 17th-century style, are already lit by powerful and emotional lights, by dry and gnarled trees, rocks and towers, cumuliform clouds that suddenly tear open in vague bursts of blue, a complex repertoire that transfigures nature into a dramatic and restless representation. He became a reference for several other artists of his time, who took up his style, as in this work. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a style frame.
