About the Item
Workshop of Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Il Guercino (Cento, 1591 - Bologna, 1666)
Saint Mark the Evangelist
Oil on canvas - 85 x 71 cm., Framed 100 x 86 cm.
Of great character and excellent quality, this precious painting of the seventeenth century has as its subject Saint Mark the Evangelist, half-length portrait, in profile to the right, intent on tempering the quill. On the dark background you can see, on the right, a bookcase with several volumes, an inkwell and a cartouche, elements that allude to his role and the lion with the open Gospel, attributes of the Saint.
The Evangelist, with the features of a young man with a thick beard and hair, of strong expressive vigor, is dressed in a tunic highlighted by an intense red, covered on the shoulders by a blue cloak.
The iconography has its origins in the series of the four Evangelists created between 1615 and 1623 by Guercino commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro d'Este, brother of Duke Cesare d'Este, then sold in 1746 to Augustus III of Saxony and today to the Gemäldegalerie of Dresden.
Our canvas therefore shows its evident belonging to the narrow sphere of the Emilian master of the seventeenth century: the executive technique and stylistic features agree with those of a work that can still be dated to the first half of the seventeenth century, which manifests the characteristics of an artist of a narrow scope. Guercinesco, well informed about the pictorial novelties conceived by the master, and therefore presumably active in his prestigious workshop.
In our specific case, the independent typological characters correspond to those of Bartolomeo Gennari's painting (Conto, 1594 - Bologna, 1661), a painter constantly active alongside Barbieri.
Over the years of his enduring career Bartolomeo devoted himself steadily to the creation of works and derivations from Guercino's compositions, for this reason he is esteemed as one of the best official copyists of the master, who usually assigned him the replicas of his best inventions, sometimes intervening person to perfect them and make them difficult to distinguish from the paintings of total Guercinesque autograph.
The painting is completed with a beautiful wooden frame.

- Portrait Noblewoman Dog Van Loo Paint 18th Century Oil on canvas Old master ArtLocated in Riva del Garda, ITLouis Michel van Loo (Toulon 1707- Paris 1771) attributable Portrait of a noblewoman with her little dog Oil on canvas (79 x 66 cm. - with frame 92 x 78 cm.) A qualitative portrait depicting an elegant noblewoman of French origin, presumably belonging to the wealthy court of Versailles during the reign of Louis XV; this work fully reflects the pictorial qualities as well as the refinement of the compositional style of the French painter Louis Michel van Loo (1707- 1771), one of the most significant portrait painters of his time, and for this reason in demand at the most noble European courts. The work, taking up the traditional formula for portraits of members of the aristocracy, shows the effigy in a half-length pose, slightly turned to the right and looking directly at the viewer. The woman, with a regal bearing, is here portrayed intent on completing her daily beauty ritual, wearing a cape during her make-up, which must have just been completed as pink powder is visible on her cheeks. This luxurious garment reveals a corset with a daring neckline, made of silk and lace, and a coral-coloured dress ending in wide jabote cuffs. Her hair is styled in the French fashion in a hairstyle that highlights her facial features. Having finished her beauty ritual, the woman is intent on removing her cape with one hand, an elegant gesture that emphasises her noble pose. At her side is her small pet dog, sitting on a blue velvet cushion with gold trim. The canvas may have been made on the occasion of a wedding, elegantly celebrating the role of a member of the aristocracy. The presence of the pet depicted in her arms had in fact a precise meaning: the fidelity that is such a well-known characteristic of the dog, declared at the same time the virtues of the effigy. Louis Michel van Loo (Toulon 1707- Paris 1771) was the son of the painter Jean Baptiste van Loo, with whom he studied in Rome and Turin. He attended the Paris Academy, where he won the first prize for painting in 1726. In 1728 he returned to Rome, where he met Francois Boucher. In 1732, passing through Turin, he returned to Paris. In 1737 van Loo became court painter in Madrid, succeeding Jean Ranc...Category

- Resurrection Christ Tiziano 16/17th Century paint Oil on canvas Old master ItalyBy Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)Located in Riva del Garda, ITThe Resurrection of Christ Follower of Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576) Venetian school of the late 16th/early 17th century Oil on canvas 108 x 78 cm. - Framed 129 x 99 cm. This jewel of the Venetian school, a work executed between the 16th and 17th centuries by a Venetian artist, illustrates the episode of the Resurrection of Christ: as reported in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 28:1-7) the event is accompanied by an explosion of light and glow, with the figure of Christ rising into the sky. Christ's face, serene and victorious, looks up towards the Light and the Infinite, in contrast to his majestic figure, here constructed with the appearance of a classical sculpture, contrasted by an intensely luminous background. The Risen One firmly holds in His hand the banner (white with a red cross) of the Resurrection, also known as the flag of St. George, which iconographically represents His victory over death, while raising His right hand in a blessing act. With his feet he crushes a snake and a skull, a sign of Christ's triumph over sin and death. The painting belongs to the Venetian school and presents clear reminiscences with the works of Titian Vecellio...Category
