About the Work
“This
is
a
great
Italian
Renaissance
landscape
drawing.
We
inherited
so
much
from
the
way
the
Renaissance
landscape
artists
saw
the
landscape
through
their
paintings
and
drawings.
Recently,
I
managed
to
acquire
an
engraving
from
an
original
plate
by
one
of
the
great
Italian
landscape
painters,
Salvator
Rosa,
originally
from
Naples
and
famous
for
his
dark
gothic
romanticised
paintings
of
landscapes.”
