About the Item
Francesco Foschi (Ancona, 1710 - Rome, 1780) Attributable
Winter landscape
Oil on canvas
76 x 63 cm. - In frame 87 x 75 cm.
The compositional and stylistic elements of this pleasant snowy landscape allow us to link its authorship to the painter Francesco Foschi (Ancona, 1710 - Rome, 1780), who became famous for his evocative winter landscapes. Ancona-born and of noble origins, the painter received his training in Rome where he moved with his family in 1729, and later began his activity as an art dealer when he took up his last residence in Piazza di Spagna in 1764.
It was around the middle of the century that Foschi began to devote himself to landscape painting, specialising in country views and winter landscapes such as ours, a genre already widespread in Flanders since the 16th century but little frequented in Italy, except by a few Venetian painters such as Marco Ricci or Giuseppe Bison.
Foschi's winter landscapes, in particular, often depict views of his Apennines, and were very popular especially with wealthy foreigners who travelled the Italian peninsula from north to south on their Grand Tour. Many of his canvases took the route to the English and French markets, the latter proving particularly favourable to his production, where he was known in his painterly maturity as 'Chevalier Foschi'.
Recurrent in Foschi's paintings is the bare tree (or group of trees) in the foreground covered in snow, which almost constitutes a signature of the artist, as well as the motif of the small bridge and the classic country cottages with thatched roofs. As is often the case in this type of work, the author tends to accentuate the presence of nature, making the characters on a smaller scale.
Our attribution would be confirmed by comparison with 'A winter landscape with peasants next to farmsteads' painted by Francesco Foschi - with a compositional structure perfectly superimposable to the proposed canvas but in a horizontal format - and passed at Christie's in London (Old Master Pictures, 10 Dec 2003, lot 89).
Another extremely similar composition is the painting, 'Winter Landscape with River, Bridge, Rustic House and Figures', which passed through Sotheby's and was again attributed to Francesco Foschi (5 July 1970, lot 10)

- Ships Heading to Sea - Dutch 17th century Old Master marine art oil paintingLocated in London, GBThis fantastic Dutch Old Master marine oil painting is by noted Dutch marine artist Abraham Storck. Painted circa 1670 the composition is a number of ships heading out to sea, their sails billowing and banners and flags blowing in the wind. The sea is also choppy and clouds race over head. It is an ambitious, busy nautical scene and Storck has perfectly captured the energy and movement of the ships and smaller vessels. This is an excellent example of a 17th century Dutch Old Master oil painting. Provenance: Part of a private collection of Flemish & European paintings. Koller Auctions in Switzerland in 2011. Bonhams 2020. Condition. Oil on canvas, 25 inches by 24 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in an ornate 23 carat gilt carved Lely period frame with name plate, 32 inches by 31 inches and in excellent condition. Abraham Storck (1644-1708) was a Dutch painter, who enjoyed a reputation for his marine paintings, topographical views and Italianate harbour scenes. Storck was also an outstanding draughtsman. Storck was baptized in the Noorderkerk, a Protestant church in the Jordaan. His father was the painter Jan Jansz Sturck (or Johannes Storck) (1603-1673), from Wesel; his mother was Teuntje (Apolonia) Jacobs. The couple married in 1628. Storck had two brothers, who were also painters using the name Sturckenburch until c. 1688 after which they started calling themselves Storck or Sturck. It is likely they were all trained with their father in the family workshop and joined the local Guild of Saint Luke, otherwise it was impossible to sell any painting. Circa 1666 Storck established his workshop producing naval, harbor scenes as well as landscape paintings and city scapes. In 1670 he traveled with his brother Jacob and worked in Germany. In 1694, at age 49, he married the widow Neeltje Pieters van Meyservelt. At the end of his life he lived on Kattenburg near the harbour. Storck's marine and river scenes were influenced by the two Willem van de Veldes (the elder and the younger), Ludolf Bakhuizen...Category
