GIOVANNI FRANCESCO BARBIERI, IL GUERCINO, AN EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPE WITH A WOMAN PLAYING WITH BIRDS, PEN AND BROWN INK

Landscapes drawings form a substantial part of Guercino’s output and he produced them throughout his career, probably for his own pleasure. It was from the countryside of his native Cento, where he lived for much of his life, that Guercino must have drawn inspiration. He must also have been familiar not only with the landscape art of the sixteenth-century Emilian tradition, as well as with Northern landscapes, widely known at the time thanks to copies made by and after artists such as Jan van de Velde, Willem Buytewech and Pieter de Molijn. Although some of his drawings are inspired by real places, they are not topographically accurate and seem to be mostly the product of his imagination. The largest set of landscapes is in the Royal Collection at Windsor (D. Mahon and N. Turner, The Drawings of Guercino in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle, Cambridge, 1989, no. 237-276, ill.).
Similar rendering of trees, architecture, and cliffs are found in two landscapes by the master, one in Windsor (inv. RCIN 902609; see ibid., no. 250, ill.) and the second from the collection of Sir Denis Mahon and now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (inv. WA2012.96 ; see D. Mahon and D. Ekserdian, Guercino Drawings from the Collections of Denis Mahon and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1986, no. 43, ill.).
