Alessandro Grevenbroeck (born in the 17th century died in Padua) Dutch seascape at dusk, around 1700
Alessandro Grevenbroeck (born in the 17th century died in Padua) Dutch seascape at dusk, around 1700 Canvas 95 cm by 64 cm This beautiful seascape is richly composed of numerous scenes. It is animated by a host of characters and ships of the Dutch fleet in the middle of islets topped with towers and ancient ruins that the painter particularly liked, Alessandro Grevenbroeck (born in the 17th century died in Padua) Born towards the end of the 17th century, probably in Milan, Alessandro had his first artistic training at the school of Giovanni Grevenbroeck, most likely his father, called il Solfarolo (Netherlands, around 1650 - Milan, 1699). The artistic collaboration between Alessandro and his father Giovanni was evidenced by the signature of both on a painting depicting Porto di mare at sunset. From 1717 to 1720, Alexander received missions from the Russian ambassador Beklemišev on behalf of Peter I the Great. Among the most important historical works created by the artist and sent to Russia are the Battle of Poltava, which was destroyed in the fire at the Hermitage Pavilion in Peterhof (1808), and the Naval Battle of Gangut (Peterhof Museum, Monplaisir Palace, inv. no. 455). The interest in the painter on the part of the Russian government led to an official invitation for Alexander to travel to Russia to enter the service of His Imperial Majesty to paint land-based naval battles and harbor views; despite the initiation of contacts and the drafting of a real preliminary contract with the artist, archival data confirm that the trip and his stay never took place. On the contrary, many canvases dedicated with a mention Venice or Padua and a date of execution (1717 and 1748), show that he remained in the vicinity of the Serenissima. The fame linked to the landscape architect is also confirmed by the data relating to the rent paid by the latter in Venice in 1745 (Provveditori alle Pompe), which shows that Alessandro had a decent level of income, which leads us to believe that the Artist enjoyed real success during his lifetime.
