Landscape with Saint Bruno ?, Alessandro Magnasco

description

Summary

Landschap met een karthuizer kluizenaar, wellicht de heilige Bruno. De heilige zit in een landschap aan de oever van een beek op rotsen in gebed verzonken met een kruis in de handen. Pendant van SK-A-3408.

Magnasco was born in Genoa, Italy, and trained under the artist Filippo Abbiati. He was known for his dark and dramatic scenes of religious and mythological subjects, often with moving figures and dynamic compositions. Magnasco's style was influenced by the work of Caravaggio and Rembrandt, as well as the Venetian painters of the 17th century. He also painted landscapes and genre scenes, but it was his religious works that gained him the most recognition during his lifetime. Magnasco's paintings are in museums and private collections around the world, including the Louvre in Paris and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

Alessandro Magnasco (1667–1749)

Also known as il Lissandrino, was an Italian late-Baroque painter active mostly in Milan and Genoa. He is best known for stylized, fantastic, often phantasmagoric genre or landscape scenes. Magnasco's distinctive style is characterized by fragmented forms rendered with swift brushstrokes and darting flashes of light.
