Description

Pictorial view of the city, brown ink drawing on tissue paper, laid down on paper support.

Antonio Senape (Rome 1788 - Naples 1850 circa) a prolific landscape painter, led a solitary life, in order to satisfy the demand of landscape views; he worked until 1840, without being inflenced by the new course settled by the School of Posillipo and by Pitloo and Giacinto Gigante.

This work is part of one of his big sketchbook.

Antonio SENAPE (Roma 1788 - Napoli 1850 circa)

A prolifica painter, Senape lived until 1815 in Rome; he afterwards moved to Naples where he lived in «Strada S. Maria della Neve alla Riviera di Chiaia n. 18, 2° piano», as he himself wrote on his papers. He left Naples just for short periods. There are no information about his works during tis period, but we know that there he lived quite a secluded life, which he spent working on his production. He realized mainly city views, but was not at all influenced by the new course of this particular production started by Pitloo and Giacinto Gigante. Seanpe's production is mainly concentrated on Southern territories, though some views of his home town have survived. In Napoli Senape started to realize a considerable amount of from life views and only in pen-and-ink on several papers. The views repeat themselves quite often, with little changes, as a sign of the flourishing market for tourists, especially from England (for the Grand Tour), which were collected in albums. Quite often, the views Senape realized could be joined together tpo form a landscape.
