Jacopo‎ ‎Bassano‎,‎ ‎Mosè‎ ‎fa‎ ‎scaturir‎ ‎l’acqua‎ ‎da‎ ‎una‎ ‎rupe (1910)

Dated 1910, "Jacopo‎ ‎Bassano‎,‎ ‎Mosè‎ ‎fa‎ ‎scaturir‎ ‎l’acqua‎ ‎da‎ ‎una‎ ‎rupe" is an artwork by Corrado Ricci. Context for 1910: Dada and Surrealism followed the First World War, the Bauhaus school was founded in 1919, and Art Deco became the fashionable decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s. The first decades of the twentieth century were a period of rapid experiment, with Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, and the first abstract painting appearing within a few years of each other. The catalogue places it in Religion. The format is landscape. Religion in brief: Buddhist painting, Hindu devotional imagery, and Islamic calligraphy and ornament each have conventions of their own. Religious painting is among the largest bodies of art ever made, from altarpieces, icons, and illuminated manuscripts to devotional prints.

On onlly.art "Jacopo‎ ‎Bassano‎,‎ ‎Mosè‎ ‎fa‎ ‎scaturir‎ ‎l’acqua‎ ‎da‎ ‎una‎ ‎rupe" is sold as a digital download (Digital JPEG + PDF files, 300 DPI). The files are delivered by email after payment, so nothing is shipped: you print locally, choosing the paper, size, and frame yourself. A landscape format suits wide, low wall spaces such as the stretch above a bed, mantel, or sideboard. Religious subjects rely on symbolism, gesture, and layered painterly drama, so they tend to read best in calm and composed interiors. Before printing, compare the proportions of the file with your frame so that nothing important is cropped. Matte and fine-art papers reduce glare in bright rooms, while glossy papers give stronger contrast and deeper blacks. Hang the print away from direct sunlight, which over the years can fade any printed colour. Screens and printers render colour differently, so a small test print is a sensible way to check tones before committing to a large size.

Italian, 1858–1934
