Venetian master of the early eighteenth century, San Giovanni Battista alla Fonte, total dimensions 92 x 73 cm, coveted close to Tiepolo. Painting of excellent executive quality: both in the description of the landscape and in that of the human figure, it reveals a clear belonging to the Venetian school of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The elegant twist of the figure and the refined pose of the crossed legs demonstrate the painter's mastery and the will to create a refined composition. The same quality can be seen in the realism of the drapery and in the excellent rendering of the landscape. The setting of the scene as well as certain synthetic solutions of great elegance and softness refer to the direct lesson of Giovan Battista Tiepolo, of which perhaps ours may have been a pupil. A more in-depth study could lead to the attribution to one of the great names of Venetian painting of the time. State of conservation The work was re-wrapped and mounted on a new frame.
