Andrea Locatelli was an Italian painter of landscapes and was born in Rome. Even though among the academic artists the most popular subject matter was sacred, historical or mythological themes he broke with these traditions and instead concentrated on painting landscapes. At the time landscape painting was a genre which was considered to be inferior by the art critics. Nevertheless, his work was in great demand and he was patronised by kings, queens, cardinals and princes not only in Rome but throughout Europe. In his early career the countryside he depicted was mostly characterised by the presence of architectural elements including columns or buildings. On the contrary, in later years elements such as trees, peasants, and farm animals were much more prominent. It’s the case of “Landscape with fisherman”, where the robust tree on the left is the main focus of the painting while the rest of the landscape looks much quieter. In most of his landscape paintings, Locatelli uses vertical elements, such as buildings, columns or large trees rising up from the foreground, to balance the entire painting.
