Great Venetian landscape of the 700th century

The large painting (103 x 223 cm) depicts a fascinating Venetian landscape and is attributed to the “Master of the Blue Mountains or Correr Landscapes”, a name that identifies a workshop of artists active in Venice in the second half of the XNUMXth century.

The composition is rich in detail and presents a scene dominated by nature and architecture. In the foreground, a hilly landscape shows figures in eighteenth-century clothing: a knight on a white steed who enters the landscape, and other figures interacting on the right. Next to a small stream with a waterfall, two seated figures add dynamism to the scene.

At the center of the composition stands a majestic group of trees, which creates a strong verticality and contrasts with the depth of the horizon. In the background you can see a village, with towers and bell towers that stand out against the profile of the blue mountains, a distinctive symbol of the master's style. The river that crosses the landscape gives harmony and visual continuity, while small boats animate the body of water.

The use of light is particularly refined: the sky at sunset is tinged with warm shades, creating an idyllic and romantic atmosphere. The atmospheric perspective, highlighted by the colder and more nuanced tones towards the background, adds depth and gives a sense of space to the work.

This work represents an emblematic example of eighteenth-century Venetian painting, combining a scenographic sensibility with high technical mastery. It is a work of great visual impact, capable of capturing the observer and transporting him to a poetic and timeless world.
