Rare work attributed to the painter Marco Ricci (Belluno, June 5, 1676 – Venice, January 21, 1730) painted in oil on canvas in good condition. The work has undergone a conservative restoration, cleaning the painted surface by the Campagnola restoration studio, Verona, Italy. The painting measures 35 x 48 cm. The frame is original to the period. Marco Ricci was a painter, engraver and landscape artist born on June 5, 1676 in Belluno. Following a brawl, his violent temperament forced him to move to Split. In this period, he created a series of works depicting the Dalmatian coastlines and the Piave River, which to this day are distinguished by a Titianesque style and the fusion of romantic views of his predecessors. The works of this period are characterized by dark or yellowish coloring. Subsequently, he met Alessandro Magnasco, and their collaboration led to a collection of sea-storm scenes in very dark tones. In his final creative period, the artist devoted himself to gouache on parchment, which can now be admired at Windsor Castle. Although he was a landscape painter, his caricature portraits of dramatic actors are still appreciated today. Thanks to his great skill, he has been an example for the great Venetian painters of the 18th century. On January 21, 1729, he committed suicide in Venice. The work is sold with an expert appraisal.
