DiaporamaLandscape with Peasants at a Fountain
79.0 x 121.0 cm
Trained in Rome and Venice, Zuccarelli enjoyed particular popularity in England, where he regularly exhibited his Arcadian landscapes and was a founding member of London’s Royal Academy in 1768. Joseph Smith (ca. 1674–1770), British consul to Venice who commissioned several works by Canaletto in The Met’s collection, was one of his most important early patrons. This view of peasants gathered before a fountain is thought to date from early in Zuccarelli’s career, probably the 1730s, when his paintings filled a gap in the art market left by the death of the Venetian landscapist Marco Ricci (1676–1730).
