Avec sa technique picturale, qui mélange savamment l’encre et la gouache blanche,<br />
Francesco Zuccarelli a multiplié les étu<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> paysages et <strong>de</strong> personnages. De nombreux<br />
petits cavaliers semblables à ceux-ci peuplent ses tableaux et rappellent ceux <strong>de</strong><br />
son contemporain le peintre <strong>de</strong> batailles Francesco Simonini, vénitien lui aussi, dont<br />
Zuccarelli a d’ailleurs gravé <strong>de</strong>s compositions.<br />
With his pictorial technique of skilfully mixing ink and white gouache, Francesco<br />
Zuccarelli multiplied the studies of landscapes and figures. Numerous small horsemen<br />
similar to these two fill his paintings and are reminiscent of the figures <strong>de</strong>picted by his<br />
fellow artist, the Venetian battle scene painter, Francesco Simonini, whose compositions<br />
Zuccarelli also engraved.<br />
