Giuseppe Bernardino Bison (Palmanova 1762 - Milan 1844) - Fantastic landscape with citadel and equestrian statue. 35 x 62 cm (unframed) - 53 x 80 cm (framed). Oil on canvas, in a gilded wooden frame. The painting depicts a fantastical landscape capriccio where a citadel perched on a rocky spur dominates the center of the composition, reflected in a body of water animated by sailing vessels. To the left, on a wooded promontory, an equestrian statue stands on a high pedestal, while in the foreground figures of fishermen and a grey horse complete the scene with naturalness. The warm sunset light, fading from pink to blue in the sky, unifies the ensemble, lending the view a melancholic and dreamlike tone. The typical liveliness of the small figures and the fluidity in the atmospheric rendering of the landscape confidently attribute the canvas to Giuseppe Bernardino Bison, one of the most original interpreters of late 18th-century Venetian vedutismo.
