Locatelli, Andrea
Description Locatelli, Andrea
Attributed to LOCATELLI, Andrea [Two romantic river landscapes]. [1700-1750] 2 drawings, lead pencil and watercolour, 14,6 x 23,6 cm, laid paper. Mounted on paper support and under blue passe-partout, gilt frame (glass missing in one frame). Two romantic landscapes. 1. A ruin on the left side and some trees. 2. A rotunda or round temple on a hill, looking out over a river bed. Andrea Locatelli (1695-1741) was one of the major figures in the development of the 18th-century Italian landscape tradition. His paintings were in high demand from Italian nobitiy and the urban upper class. Locatelli specialised in romantic landscapes set in Latium, often imaginary compositions which included ruins or classical buildings. Fine examples of his early style, in which human activity in the landscape was reduced to a minimum.
