Antique 18th century painting on panel, Arcadian landscape with knight
-
Description
A refined 18th-century Italian painting. Artwork oil on panel depicts a splendid landscape with figures, of remarkable pictorial quality. At the center of the composition is a man on horseback, likely a hunter, accompanied by two elegant dogs. Next to him are two peasants seated on the ground, a man and a woman, who appear to be exchanging greetings with the knight.
The landscape is dominated by a magnificent tree and an ancient cylindrical stone tower, lending the painting an Arcadian atmosphere. The rendering of the figures and the meticulous naturalistic details suggest that this is the work of a refined genre painter from central Italy in the mid-18th century. Perfect for landscape collectors, the fact that it is painted on panel makes it even more valuable and rare.
Due to its balanced size, the painting is suitable for display in various areas of the home, such as living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms. The 20th-century wood and plaster frame is beautifully decorated, with some signs of aging. The work has already been restored, with some minor color restorations, but is in overall good condition. Interior size H 32.5 x W 31.5 cm. - More Information
