FRANCESCO ZUCCARELLI (PITIGLIANO 1702-FLORENCE 1788)
Landscape with a Wayside Tavern
c.1741-42RCIN 403531
This painting and its pair, also hanging on this wall, are pastiches of Dutch seventeenth-century landscape painting. Here the style and palette is that of Philips Wouwermans (1619–68), whose subject matter included horsemen and travellers outside taverns and whose landscapes are filled with cool, clear northern light and dark clouds.
