Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

- 18th-century painted canvas from Portugal depicting a landscape animated by a group of three figures.

- The foreground features vegetation on both sides, including a coconut palm on the left. The landscape appears arid, revealing a hot, dry Mediterranean climate. In the background, on the left, we see a tower connected to what appears to be a wall marking the entrance to a town, which appears in the next shot with its crenellated architecture and pointed roofs. Two men, one standing in a red tunic, the other seated, seem to be pointing the way to a lady, their arms pointing to the right.

- The upper and lower borders remind us that this type of painting on canvas belongs to a production traditionally known as "painted tapestries". These are paintings imitating tapestries on textile canvas. Born as an alternative to tapestries, painted canvases share many common characteristics, such as the ability to create a monumental setting, whose large dimensions enable the artist to propose a rich, meticulous composition. Here, the canvas can be likened to a French window.

- The canvas is in good condition, with some halo marks (see photos). This canvas is lined and has rings for fastening.

- Dimensions - Width: 131cm Height: 305 cm
