Mountain View Baroque Capriccio Landscape 17th Century Oil Painting Old Master

Along the road, we see several travelers: some are walking at a leisurely pace, others are engaged in animated conversations. At the top of one mountain, a small castle stands proudly, below at the foot of the mountain, the castle is guarded by several watchtowers. To the right of the road, behind a picturesquely spread out tree, we see the surface of the water - fine capriccio example of baroque period. Landscapes in the Baroque style are unique examples of achieving realism in art. As a basis, the artists chose the previous direction - the Renaissance era. In their paintings, certain rules prevail to convey lighting, color, shades, and the placement of objects in order to bring more drama to the scene. Despite the general trends, each representative of the art school of that time had a unique style and handwriting. An artist could work on one painting for several years, but the result was worth it. Even after almost three hundred years, paintings from the Baroque era never cease to amaze with their drama and realism. Antique oil painting on canvas, unsigned, unframed.
