拍品专文

Giovanni Battista Cimaroli trained first with Antonio Aureggio in Bologna and subsequently with the landscape painter Antonio Calza. That Cimaroli was an artist much in demand is illustrated by his collaboration in 1726 with Canaletto, Piazzetta, Pittoni and other artists on series of Allegorical tombs of British worthies commissioned by the 2nd Duke of Richmond. He provided the landscape elements of this commission.

Cimaroli's idealised pastoral landscapes, reminiscent of Zuccarelli, helped to estbalish the artist as distinct from the topographical views of Canaletto and the more atmospheric pictures of Ricci. They are characteristed by fluent brushwork, in a light palette.
