Roman School

The subject reflects the characteristics of the Vedutismo movement. Vedutismo is a genre born in the 18th century and developed primarily in Venice. Vedutismo painters aimed to represent a landscape objectively and scientifically, placing it as the protagonist of the work. There are essentially two types of vedute: the realistic one, taken exactly from reality, and the "capriccio," a fanciful view invented by the painter. This work is a beautiful example of Roman vedutismo, with a typical scene, somewhere between Romantic, Picturesque, and Arcadian, in which ancient ruins are immersed in the landscape of a rustic and pastoral countryside.  The artist who painted this landscape shows a strong connection to the Vedutismo tradition. Indeed, the work seems to reflect this tradition right from the composition, with a dramatic framing encompassing a vast expanse of landscape. But above all, the execution method is consistent with Vedutismo: the artist uses a quick, cursive stroke, roughly delineating details and allowing their recomposition to occur in the viewer's eye. The artist manages to blend shapes into the atmosphere, constructing objects with a thin line that delineates their contours and then softening them, allowing light to permeate the entire scene. The entire pictorial space is thus unified in a perfect twilight atmosphere where the objects in the foreground appear in a suggestive penumbra, while glimpses of light measure the landscape that disappears in the distance. From an analysis of the style—a rapid, cursive stroke—and the subject—a lyrical landscape—the artist can be defined as a follower of the Roman Vedutismo tradition. We are therefore faced with a painter with a solid academic background, which provided him with a remarkable technique that allows him to achieve a perfect naturalistic and atmospheric rendering.
