Cavalier and Shepherd Francesco Casanova Italian
A cavalier on horseback exchanges information with a shepherd whose arms gesture expressively. The artist trained in Venice, but found his voice in Paris by studying with the battle painter Charles Parrocel (1688–1752) and by looking to an earlier generation of Dutch masters who specialized in these subjects. Like his brother, the famed author and rake Giacomo (1725–1798), Casanova spent significant time traveling between European courts and enjoyed an international reputation during his lifetime.Francesco Casanova - Cavalier and Shepherd - The Metropolitan Museum of Art
