ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Painter, draughtsman, and printmaker Paolo Anesi was born in 1697 in Rome. The son of a Venetian silk weaver, Anesi became one of the most important landscape painters active in Rome in the mid-eighteenth century. Collectors greatly admired his ideal landscapes and views based on studies of the Roman countryside, described as Bambocciata or genre scenes with peasants. He worked in fresco and oil on canvas, many of which were collected by British and French tourists and expats, who admired vedutisti like Anesi, Canaletto, Giovanni Paolo Pannini and Francesco Guardi. Anesi’s success led to his induction on 8 January 1747 to the assembly of Virtuosi al Pantheon.
