AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
“Anatre in un paesaggio fluviale”
Giovanni Crivelli detto il Crivellino (Milano ? - Parma 1760) Attribuito a
Oil on canvas / 1750-1760
- Dimensions: 69 x 46 cm in frame non contemporaneo
Canvas: 59 x 36 cm
The composition depicts a group of ducks arranged along the banks of a water body, immersed in an articulated woodland landscape. In the center, the bird depicted with wings spread introduces an element of movement and constitutes the visual focal point of the scene, while the other animals are captured in more gathered and natural poses.
Reason for attribution
The attribution to Giovanni Crivelli, a painter specialized in the representation of animals and particularly appreciated for compositions with birds, seems plausible given the subject matter, the scenographic setup, and the painting language.
Characteristic is the naturalistic interest in the various species and in the plumage, the arrangement of the animals in the foreground in varied poses, the use of a palette dominated by browns, earth tones, ochres and deep greens and above all the inclusion of the animals within a wide and atmospheric landscape, in which areas of strong shade contrast with the bright openings of the horizon.
Particularly significant is the lively rendering of the central duck with wings spread, which transforms a seemingly quiet naturalistic scene into a dynamic and theatrical composition, a feature consistent with the Lombard animal painting tradition of the Sixteenth to Eighteenth Century to which Crivelli belongs.
Condition report
The work is re-framed, in good overall conservation condition, compatible with the antiquity of the artifact.
Craquelure and natural settling of the painting surface are observed, with slight inhomogeneities and signs of time. As often happens with paintings of this period, ancient conservation interventions, cleanings and limited repainting are plausible.
*** Photographic note
The photographs of the work were taken with the aid of professional studio lighting and spotlights to allow better readability of the composition, details and painterly material. This lighting may cause slight variations in color perception and brightness compared with direct viewing of the work. The photographs are for illustrative and documentary purposes only.
*** Note regarding the frame:
The frame is attached to the work as a courteous gift and without monetary value attribution. Given its antiquity and natural fragility, any damages, detachments, breakages or losses occurring during transport and attributable exclusively to the frame cannot be grounds for refund or compensation.
Ideal for collecting and investment
With a certificate of sale and lawful provenance in accordance with the law - Expertise
Professional packaging and insured shipping based on the estimated value
