Born in Tuscany, Francesco Zuccarelli trained as a figural painter under Pietro Nelli in Rome. Around 1732, he moved to Venice, which prompted a close study of Marco Ricci's paintings and led him exclusively to paint landscapes that avoided the topographical type of Venetian view developed by Canaletto and the stormier landscapes of Marco Ricci, adopting instead a decorative landscape style of idealized Italian countryside, as in the present painting.
