Landscape with Bridge c. 1735 Oil on canvasA woven cloth used as a support for painting. The best-quality canvas is made of linen; other materials used are cotton, hemp, and jute. It is now so familiar a material that the word 'canvas' has become almost a synonym for an oil painting, but it was not until around 1500 that it began to rival the wooden panel (which was more expensive and took longer to prepare) as the standard support for movable paintings (the transition came later in Northern Europe than in Italy). Canvas is not suitable for painting on until it has been coated with a ground, which isolates the fabric from the paint; otherwise it will absorb too much paint, only very rough effects will be obtainable, and parts of the fabric may be rotted by the pigments. It must also be made taut on a stretcher or by some other means., 56 x 73 cm Szépmûvészeti Múzeum, Budapest
This painting and its pendantOne of a pair of related art works, or related elements within an art work. (Landscape with a Castle, also in the Budapest museum) were inspired by the landscapes of Salvator Rosa. It was painted in Venice, where the young painter was intent on getting his career under way but looking elsewhere for inspiration.
