Giuseppe Zola (1672-1743), Attributed to - Paesaggio con viandanti e borgo fortificato

Attributed to Giuseppe Zola "Landscape with Wayfarers and a Fortified Village" oil on canvas of 72x60 cm without a frame and 84x78 cm with a frame. The back bears the inscription Giù.Zola.F. The work has an old lining and light restorations. Overall in good conservation condition. The painting shows the unmistakable compositional and stylistic imprint of Giuseppe Zola’s fortunate landscape production, a master of Brescia origin long active in Ferrara for the most prestigious local and Este commissions. The canvas fully expresses the Arcadian and pre-Rococo taste of the artist, characterized by a restless and scenographic nature structured by tree-framed narrative led down to a mountainous and atmospheric backdrop. The refined alternation of shadowed areas and light patches, together with the typical fluid chromatic brushwork and the presence of small cameo figures in the foreground, finds stringent corroboration with the mature cores of the painter today preserved at the National Pinacoteca of Ferrara and the BPER Banca collection. The important inscription found on the back significantly reinforces the link of observation to the Brescia master. Important Brescia collection.
