He was one of the most distinguished landscape painters working in Rome in the 17th century, painting decorative frescoes and many easel paintings for such major Roman patrons as Pope Innocent X and the Colonna family. He is associated with a new genre of landscape, the storm scene, although of some 400 catalogued works little more than 30 treat this theme. His most characteristic works depict the beauty of the scenery around Rome, particularly near Tivoli, and suggest the shifting patterns of light and shade across a rugged terrain. Dughet drew from nature, yet his landscapes are carefully structured, and figures in antique dress suggest the ancient beauty of a landscape celebrated by Virgil. Very few can be securely dated; his development may be inferred from his few dated fresco paintings and from the wider context in which he was working. Most writers, following Pascoli, have divided Dughet's career into three periods. His first landscapes were 'a little dry' (Pascoli); in his second period he developed a more learned style, closer to that of his teacher, Nicolas Poussin; his late works were more intimate and more original.  ABSOLUTELY SPLENDID!!!!XVIIth Century    ***  Expédition / Shipping:   We shipped by FEDEX in a wooden crateCanada & USA: FREE SHIPPINGEurope: $250.00I accept payment via www.escrow.com under certain conditions.When packaging our items for shipping, we ALWAYS use protective materials.  Lors de l'expédition, nous emballons soigneusement les items pour les protéger durant le transport.      Place a Bid!
