Gemälde Alte Meister Teil 1

LEONARDO COCCORANTE,
1680 NAPLES – CA. 1750, ATTRIBUTED
A pair of paintings
PORT WITH COLUMN LOGGIA AND
APPROACHING STORM
and
PORT WITH ANCIENT MONUMENT AND CALM
SEAS
Oil on copper.
30.9 x 73.5 cm.
The two paintings in a decidedly elongated landscape
format relate to each other in terms of content, which
emphasizes their cohesiveness. When the pair is
viewed together the actual message is “calm after
the storm“. Coccorante was an important representative
of the genre of ruin landscapes or ruin capricci.
However, his works differ stylistically significantly from
Roman painters such as Ricci or Piranesi because
he was active much earlier, at the emergence of
this genre.
