About the Item
Antonio Tibaldi known as the Count (Rome, 1633 - documented until 1675)
Still life with musical instruments, sheet music and riser with sweets
Oil on canvas, cm 120 x 169
Frame, 132 x 181.5 cm
The present still life with musical instruments, vanished mirror, and basket of sweets can be attributed by stylistic and compositional references to the hand of Roman painter Antonio Tibaldi (Rome, 1635-documented until 1675). Very little is known about him and his family, in 1675 his name appears in the Stato d'Anime of the Parish of Santa Maria del Popolo where he is recorded as a Roman painter of forty years, this allowed us to fix his date of birth at 1635. He worked with his contemporary Carlo Manieri, with whom he partly shared some composite modules, but unlike the latter, who favored the elaboration of complicated architectural structures, in Tibaldi the tendency to saturate space, in which the backdrops are enclosed by heavy drapes of fabric, is shown to be more pronounced. This predilection of his for elaborating complex compositions consisting of elegant carpets, draperies, silverware, musical instruments, and many other precious objects suggests that there was a direct acquaintance and probable apprenticeship in the workshop of Francesco Noletti known as Il Maltese (1611-1654). Of him it is known that he had seven children with Isabella Barbieri, three of whom would go on to a painting career: Giovanni Tibaldi mentioned by Bertolotti as active in the early 18th century, his painter sisters Teresa (1720? - 1776), Isabella and Maria Felice Tibaldi (1707 - 1749). The rediscovery of the artist is critically recent and was due to the discovery of two past Christie's paintings in 1990. The pair including one with Guitar, sheet music, plate of figs, sweets, books, and silverware and the other with Armor, sword, watch, book, and carpet; the second one bears clearly on the back of the book the inscription" The Roman Tibaldi." From here we began to reconstruct the artist's catalog by adding two more works preserved in the Musée des beaux Artes in Nantes and another in Luigi Salerno's volume on still life (La natura morta in Italia 1560-1805, Rome 1984 p.186).
His production exhibits the use of filling the pictorial space to the greatest extent possible, placing heavy carpets and brocades on tables where suits of armor, clocks, musical instruments, pillows, boxes, books, sugary sweets are distributed and often, as in our case, he closed the stage space with heavy, gold-edged fabrics. Tibaldi was held in high regard by the Roman patriciate, who were particularly prone to these pompous depictions set in interiors where armor, musical instruments, sweets, and goldsmithing are displayed on decorative plinths covered in turn with precious damask drapes and curtains. Its powerful patrons included the Colonna family, the Barberini family, and the Chigi family.
The painting examined here is a characteristic example of his production; conceived with a horizontal layout ( which is the one most often repeated by the artist ) the space is enclosed by heavy draperies that hint at an architectural structure in the background while on a marble base various objects are depicted: precious silver urns, a mirror, a precious and elegant decorated basin containing cookies and fruit, a violin and another string instrument, and finally an open musical score.
