Angelo Da Campo (Verona 1735-1826)
Landscape with shepherds and knights
Oil on canvas, cm 120 x 137
This painting is accompanied by an expertise from Pier Luigi Fantelli who attributes it to the Veronese artist Angelo da Campo. The hypothesis is supported by the existence of a canvas closely comparable to this one, signed «Angelus de Campo F. Verone» and dated 1772, which passed through the antiquarian market several years ago, at the Ribolzi Gallery in Monte Carlo.
Da Campo probably trained under the guidance of Michelangelo Prunati, as reported by Diego Zannandreis, who dedicated a biography to the artist within his Lives of Veronese painters, sculptors and architects (a work published in 1891, but drafted in the 1830s); subsequently - again according to Zannandreis - he «set himself to work on his own, painting several panels and paintings which earned him esteem».
