TEFAF MAASTRICHT 2016

TEFAF 2016

ROBILANT+VOENA celebrate over sixteen years of exhibiting at TEFAF Maastricht, with solo presentations of two artists highly representative of the gallery’s program over the years - Gaspar van Wittel (1652-1736) and Lucio Fontana (1899-1968).

Gaspar van Wittel known as ‘Vanvitelli’, played a pivotal role in the late 17^th and early 18^th centuries, in the development of topographical paintings, known as vedute. Originally from Holland, he moved to Rome in 1674, where he made a career and resided until his death. Gifted with a profound understanding of perspective and architecture, he became the first known of the view painters or vedutisti, producing a spectacular variety of representations of Italian cities that are accurate, precise and detailed.
