Description: This painting reveals the full expressive mastery achieved by Zuccarelli in the late thirties and early forties of the eighteenth century. The influence of the Roman landscape painters, such as Anesi and Locatelli, and the artist’s study of Venetian painter Marco Ricci combine in this work, resulting in a refined Arcadian idyll. The skill of the artist is evident in the rendering of the figures, accurately modeled in flesh tones, and in the delicate chiaroscuro that enlivens the color range.
