Painting from the circle of Marco Ricci

Oil on canvas. In a verdant hilly countryside, where a watercourse flows, some shepherds sit whistling in the shade of the trees, while checking the flock that drinks. Dense dark clouds gather in the sky. The style refers to the production of Marco Ricci, a painter from Belluno who established himself for his undoubted talent for naturalistic and architectural representation. His landscapes, still markedly seventeenth-century in taste, are already illuminated by powerful and emotional lights, by dry and twisted trees, rocks and towers, cumuliform cloudiness that suddenly tears into 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 period-style frame.
