Angeluccio

As an eminent member of Bamboccianti, he acquainted and befriended other influencer artists of the time, including Michelangelo Cerquozzi with whom he often collaborated.

[1] He is regarded as an artist of considerable talent and his works are often mistaken for his master's.

In Landscape with Figures and Bridge, his earlier work, Angeluccio directly borrows Claude's key artistic elements such as centrally placed foreground figures framed by trees in the middle ground, standing before a bridge and a distant vista.

His typical compositional characteristics are the rendering of a spatial depth, the showing of the horizon through an aperture in the dense foliage of the large trees, the domination of landscape over the relatively tiny figures, and the intense play of light and shadow.

This blending of styles made his works unique and distinguishable, marking him as an important artist of his time.
