Landscape with banditti: the murder
WILSON, Richard
(Artist)
The exaggerated gestures of the powerful murderer about to stab his pleading victim recall the theatre rather than real life. This is heightened by the dramatic moutainous landscape modelled on the work of Salvator Rosa, whose pictures were highly regarded by eighteenth-century connoisseurs.
