Antonio Diziani,

Italian 1737-1797-

An extensive Venetian landscape with mountains, figures, fishing boats, and buildings beyond;

oil on canvas, 56 x 85 cm.

Provenance: Private collection, London.

Note: This remarkable and evocative landscape dates to c.1765, during Diziani's first period of activity. Son of the painter Gaspare Diziani, Antonio was predominantly a landscapist, whose work was close in tone to the lyrical-pastoral scenes of Francesco Zuccarelli and Giuseppe Zais. His signature flickering brushstrokes can be seen here throughout the landscape as well as in the charming foreground figures. We are grateful to Dario Succi for confirming the attribution of the present lot.
