Figures on a Winding Road
mid-1600s
Location: not on view
Description
The vitality of Rosa’s landscapes is indebted to his practice of constantly drawing the world around him, incorporating fresh observations of nature into his wild and awe-inspiring mature landscapes. Rosa’s drawings from the 1650s showcase his interest in capturing the mysterious and savage qualities of nature. Through sinewy paths or anthropomorphic cliffs, the environment overwhelms the small figures, evoking the power and magical qualities of nature.- E. Desperet, Paris (Lugt 721, lower right, in black ink). [Paul Drey Gallery] (label on old photo)
