Giuseppe Zais,
Italian 1709-1784-
Italianate river landscape with figures on a track in the foreground and mountains beyond;
oil on canvas, 150.8 x 99 cm.
Provenance:
Anon. sale, Artemisia Auctions, Paris, 6 November 2013, lot 128 (for €13,400).
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
Zais was heavily influenced by his contemporaries Marco Ricci (1676-1730) and Francesco Zuccarelli (1702-1788), under the latter of whom he studied. The present work is typical of Zais's sweeping Arcadian compositions, even in the inclusion of a towering tree which imparts a sense of scale and grandeur to the painting, a feature which also appears in a similar work of slightly smaller proportions which sold at Sotheby's, London, on 10 July 2008 (lot 259) for £24,500.
