Isola di Sora in Southern Lazio Johann Georg von Dillis

This impassioned oil study was created during a late trip to Italy by Johann Georg von Dillis around 1830–32 and depicts the famous village of Isola di Sora, a mountain settlement in southern Lazio renowned for its paper production. Dillis had already visited the area in 1805 and noted in a sketchbook that here one finds ‘nature in the style of Poussin or Dughet’. With great immediacy and, at the same time, an extraordinarily nuanced use of colour, the artist captures the landscape in an evening atmosphere directly on site on paper. Dillis’s oil studies rank among the finest examples of early plein air painting and need not shy away from comparison with the most significant English and French artists of his time. | 1759 Gmain bei Schwindkirchen - München 1841 | 19.
