ZUCCARELLI, See also:FRANCESCO (1702–1788) , See also:Italian painter, was See also:born at See also:Pitigliano in See also:Tuscany, and studied in See also:Rome under Onesi, Morandi, and Nelli. At Rome, and later in See also:Venice, he became famous as one of the best landscape painters of the classicizing 18th See also:century. Having visited See also:England on a previous occasion, he was induced by some patrons to return thither in 1752, remaining until 17i3, when he settled in See also:Florence, dying there in 1788. Zuccarelli, who was one of the See also:foundation members of the Royal See also:Academy, enjoyed the patronage of See also:royalty and of many wealthy See also:English collectors, for whom he executed his See also:principal See also:works—generally landscapes with classic ruins and small figures. A large number of them are at See also:Windsor See also:Castle, and of the seven examples which formed See also:part of the See also:John See also:Samuel collection two are now at the See also:National See also:Gallery. The royal See also:palace in Venice contains as many as twenty-one, and the academy four. Others are at the See also:Vienna Gallery and at the Louvre in See also:Paris. His See also:work was very unequal, but at his best he rivals the leading landscape painters of his See also:time.
