ZUCCARELLI, FRANCESCO (17021788)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 1047 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
ZUCCARELLI, FRANCESCO (17021788) , Italian painter, was born at Pitigliano in Tuscany, and studied in Rome under Onesi, Morandi, and Nelli. At Rome, and later in Venice, he became famous as one of the best landscape painters of the classicizing 18th
century
 . Having visited England on a previous occasion, he was induced by some patrons to return thither in 1752, remaining until 17i3, when he settled in Florence, dying there in 1788.
Zuccarelli
 , who was one of the
foundation
  members of the Royal
Academy
 , enjoyed the patronage of royalty and of many wealthy
English
  collectors, for whom he executed his
principal
  worksgenerally landscapes with classic ruins and small figures. A large number of them are at Windsor Castle, and of the seven examples which formed
part
  of the John Samuel collection two are now at the National Gallery. The royal palace in Venice contains as many as twenty-one, and the
academy
  four. Others are at the Vienna Gallery and at the Louvre in Paris. His
work
  was very unequal, but at his
best he rivals the leading landscape painters of his time. His paintings often
bear
  a mark representing a pumpkin, a pictorial representation of his name, which signifies " little pumpkin."
