Zuccarelli, who was one of the founding members of the Royal Academy, enjoyed the patronage of royalty, and of many wealthy English collectors, for whom he executed his principal works, which were generally a landscape or veduta with classic ruins and small figures. His paintings often bear a mark representing a pumpkin, a pictorial representation of his name, which signifies little pumpkin. Zuccarelli was reputed to have trained Giuseppe Zais and influenced Vittorio Amadeo Cignaroli.
