GIOVANNI BENEDETTO CASTIGLIONE (1609-64)
A landscape with shepherds and a flock
c. 1640-45RCIN 904089
By the 1640s, Castiglione’s increased confidence in his handling of oil on paper allowed him to experiment with his marks and textures. The foliage at lower left shows a variety of touch and a subtle range of colours that save even the densest areas of brushwork from becoming congested.
