AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Follower of Salvator Rosa (Naples 1615 - Rome 1673) - Rocky landscape with soldiers by a waterfall.
61 x 86 cm (without frame) - 69 x 94 cm (with frame).
Oil on canvas, in a gilded wooden frame.
The painting follows the model of Salvator Rosa’s “wild” landscape, widely imitated in Italy and across Europe during the 18th century. The scene opens onto a gorge enclosed by rocky walls, with a waterfall in the middle ground feeding the stream at lower left. On the right, beneath trees leaning towards the centre and near the mouth of a cave, a group of helmeted soldiers gathers among the rocks. In the foreground a seated figure wearing a white turban converses with a soldier leaning on his sword, while his companions look on from behind. The light breaking through the clouds at the centre of the composition sets the group apart from the dark background.
Condition report: Lined canvas, with a restoration on the reverse. Good state of preservation of the paint surface, with signs of ageing and wear.
This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity.
- Further informations on the condition report are available upon request.
- All shipments are handled with professional packaging. The frame, if present, is to be understood as a gift and therefore its structural integrity during transport is not guaranteed.
Note for non-Italian buyers: This work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy, is-sued by the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage, which certifies that the work does not belong to the Italian cultural heritage and may therefore be freely exported. The regulations in force from 2026 pro-vide for reduced processing times for works with a declared value below €50,000, at the discretion of the expert committee: typically 2-3 weeks from the submission of the request. All costs related to this procedure are included in the price.
