The work in question takes up a gallant scene set in a garden with a neoclassical taste. The wooded landscape characterizes the scene, with the green tones of the shrubs, and envelops the figures, intent on taking a walk in the park of the villa that can be glimpsed in the distance. The noblewomen are dressed in day dresses, in pastel, light and fluttering colors that are well suited to the bucolic context of the landscape; a man, on the other hand, accompanies the young women to discover the secrets of the wood, perhaps the old father or a page. The joyful gang is taken up by the painter in a moment of daily leisure, giving a testimony of the high bourgeois life of the girls of the time, marked by outdoor activities, games, walks, chat with friends.
Guglielmo Napoli was a painter trained at the Pavia School of Art. In 1891 he participated in the Exhibition of the Promoter of Genoa with the painting "Study from life". From the last years of the nineteenth century he settled in Genoa where he studied. In 1892 he participated in the Exposition for the Colombian Celebrations. His participation in the Promotional Exhibition of Fine Arts in Genoa in 1900 with the painting "Surroundings of Novi Ligure" and in the Social Exhibition of Fine Arts of 1918 with the painting "Portrait" is documented. Among his best-known works, the portraits of “Richard Wagner” and “Giuseppe Verdi” currently preserved in the Pinacoteca Civica of Imperia are worthy of mention - coming from the Rebaudi legacy.

- 19th Century Portrait of Tiziano and Rembrandt Couple of Paintings Oil on CanvasLocated in Milan, IT19th century Portrait of Tiziano Vecellio and Rembrandt Measures: (2) Oil on canvas, 25 x 18.5 cm Frame 46 x 37 cm The two portraits depicting the artists Tiziano Vecellio and Rembrandt are to be counted among the reproductions of those famous self-portraits made by the two painters throughout their careers. As far as Titian is concerned, the artist creates numerous self-portraits that shoot him in different ages of his life and in different poses from time to time. An example is the one kept in the Prado Museum (Tiziano Vecellio, Self-portrait, 1560, oil on canvas, 86 × 65 cm, Museo del Prado, Madrid), which portrays the now elderly master, as in the present case. The thick white beard reaches almost to the chest, depicted almost in profile, while here the bust is frontal and the face turned three-quarters; his gaze is then turned to the outside of the painting and his expression seems tired and thoughtful. The broad forehead is uncovered and cut by a tight black bonnet from which no hair comes out. A thin white collar separates the face from the rest of the body dressed in an elegant and sober black dress, just like in this portrait. The figure clearly emerges from the background devoid of objects or furnishings, so that nothing distracts our gaze from the image of the famous artist who thus wants to be remembered. Another example is the self-portrait in Berlin (Self-portrait, 1552, 96 x 75 cm, Staatliche Museen, Berlin), which depicts the elderly artist, but decorated with a rich dress and placed in a physical space. Finally, the lost self-portrait in oil on paper, cited by Vasari in his Lives in 1545, keeps a low profile, as evidenced by the rather modest dress...Category

- 18th Century Portraits of Women Couple of Paintings in Oil on Canvas by BertoliLocated in Milan, ITAntonio Bertoli (active between 1829 - 1842) Portraits of women (2) Oil on canvas, 41.5 x 31 cm With frame 52 x 42.5 cm Signed below A. Bertoli The two portraits examined here are by the hand of the artist Antonio Bertoli, a painter active in Florence between 1829 - 1842. He trained at the Florentine Academy, where in 1832 he obtained the prize for the nude in drawing. At the academic exhibitions of the following years he exhibited mainly portraits, including a representation of Nicolò Macchiavelli executed in 1837. An eclectic artist, he experimented with different genres: for the Villa Puccini di Scornio in Pistoia, in 1838, he was commissioned to create a history picture, The death of Francesco Ferrucci (Pistoia, Civic Museum), inspired by an episode of the novel Siege of Florence by Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi. Instead, two religious paintings date back to the 1840s: Christ chasing the merchants from the Temple and a Virgin Mary, In the portraits analyzed Bertoli depicts two half-length women taken from a foreshortening and a frontal in close pose, characterized by very similar Mediterranean features. In the first painting the woman, taken from the front, looks directly at the viewer. The wavy hair is decorated with a colorful violet and is partially covered by a white veil...Category
