Circle of Francesco Casanova

'Circle of Francesco Casanova' refers to anonymous or lesser-known artists who worked in close proximity to, were trained by, or were significantly influenced by the Italian-born battle and landscape painter Francesco Giuseppe Casanova (1727, 1803). Works attributed to this designation share stylistic affinities with Casanova's characteristic depictions of cavalry skirmishes, military encampments, and pastoral landscapes executed in the Flemish-influenced Baroque tradition. Such attributions are commonly used by auction houses when a work cannot be firmly assigned to Casanova himself but demonstrates clear evidence of his workshop practice or direct artistic influence.
