Jan Frans van Bloemen L'Orizzonte (Anversa, 1662 - Roma, 1749)
Landscape Arno Valley near Tivoli
H 150x200 cm - in frame H 168x217 cm
A painter among the greatest landscape painters, Van Bloemen in this work shows a wide-ranging Arcadian landscape typical of the surroundings of Rome, crossed by the Arno, with characters carrying out daily activities, in the background a village with architecture on a hill.
The structure of the composition is an emblematic example of Bloemian landscape painting and allows us to highlight the fundamental characteristics of his painting style.
The intense touch of green starting from the bottom with touches of light between the trees, seems to frame the background that gradually proceeds into the distance characterized by precise brush strokes in the depiction, of a scenario shining with lighter and more delicate hues, tending towards pastel tones until it acquires a diffused luminosity on the mountains and on the clouds that touch an infinite horizon.
This is Van Bloemen's way of painting in all his representations.
An example that shows how Van Bloemen was able to merge and unify the pictorial tendencies of artists such as Dughet, Lorrain, A. Locatelli, giving more light and brilliance to his works.
The work can be dated to the period of the master's full maturity, a very prolific period in his production.
