Lot 176: *Gherardo Cibo (1512-1597) a rocky landscape with figures, an arch, a castle and other buildings.

*Gherardo Cibo (1512-1597) a rocky landscape with figures, an arch, a castle and other buildings. Numbered: 87. Pen and brown ink and colored wash. 230 by 322mm. Provenance: Comte Carl Cobenzl (L. 2858b, the mount bears his cartouche with the attribution to Joos the Momper, and number 4783); The Hermitage, St. Petersburg (L.2061), sale, Leipzig, C.G. Boerner, 29 April 1931, lot 163 (as Joos the Momper). This fantastic landscape by Cibo is typical of his work, which was strongly influenced by Northern prints; see for example the pen and ink drawing at Weimar which is based on a print by Hieronymus Cock (Gherardo Cibo, exh. cat., San Severino Marche, 1989, figs. 11, 12). The bright coloring is also entirely characteristic.
