CARLO ANTONIO TAVELLA (Milan, 1668 – Genoa, 1738) Attributed - Landscape with figures. - Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 37 × 54 cm. The work presents a lively landscape with figures, a common feature in late Baroque Italian painting. The figures, integrated into the natural environment, act as narrative elements that enliven the composition and provide scale to the landscape, a common device in landscape painting of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The painting is related to the style of Carlo Antonio Tavella, one of the leading landscape painters active in Genoa during the Baroque period. Initially trained in Milan, Tavella moved to Genoa, where he produced a significant body of landscapes characterized by a luminous atmosphere, expansive natural vistas, and the inclusion of small figures that add dynamism to the scene. His work reflects the influence of the Italian landscape tradition inherited from Salvator Rosa and Gaspard Dughet, adapted to the decorative tastes of the Genoese school.
