Sul dipinto
Marco Ricci (1676-1730) was born in Venice from where he fled to Split in Dalmatia having murdered a gondolier. This happened around 1696 shortly after he became his uncle's, Sebastiano Ricci, pupil. He remained there for four years concentrating on landscape painting, a training that he put in good use once back in Venice in 1700 as he started depicting theatrical sceneries. Unlike his uncle, little is known on Marco's artistic development although he seems to have collaborated with Alessandro Magnasco (1667-1749) and Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini (1675-1741) with whom he went to England and the Netherlands.
Leggi
This painting is a good example of Marco Ricci's early production, probably executed during his first in England. It shows a mountainous landscape with a bending road on the left, counterbalanced by the river running on the opposite side. The small figure are carrying wood on chariot led by horses while imposing houses are placed on the right river bank.
