Giuseppe Zais
Landscape with Bridge
K1816A
GIUSEPPE ZAIS K1816A: Figure 303 LANDSCAPE WITH BRIDGE. Tempe, Ariz., Arizona State University, Study Collection (104), since 1962. Canvas. 21 x 28 5/8 in. (53.3 x 72.7 cm.). K1816B: Figure 304 LANDSCAPE WITH WATERFALL. Hartford, Conn., Trinity College, Study Collection, since 1961.(1) Canvas. 21 x 28 5/8 in. (53.3 x 72.7 cm.). Both in very good condition. Somewhat more sketchy and less tight in composition, this pair of paintings would seem to be a little earlier than Zais' Landscape with Classical Fountain, in the Accademia, Venice, which he painted on the occasion of his admission to the Venice Academy, in 1765. All three pictures include the complex of round and gabled buildings, with little variation one group from another.(2)
