16th Century Animals Painting Oil on Canvas by Crivellino

About the Item

Giovanni Crivelli known as Crivellino (Milan,? - Parma, 1760) Fight between dogs and bison Oil on canvas, 84 x 111 cm With frame 112 x 139 cm Thanks to the comparison with his autograph works, which will be mentioned, the present painting can be traced back to the hand of the Milanese Giovanni Crivelli (Milan,? - Parma, 1760) called Crivellino to distinguish him from his father Angelo Maria, also a painter and known as il Crivellone (news from 1662 - 1730 ca.). The confirmation of Crivellino's paternity comes mainly on the basis of a comparison with some paintings in the Cova Minotti collection in Milan, depicting a wild boar attacked by dogs (signed and dated “Gio. Crivelli fec.1720”) and a bear attacked by dogs. Strict similarities are visible in the setting of the work, in the composition and in the re-proposition of the same types of dogs and bison, in particular in another work of the same collection depicting an Assault on the bison. These works testify in Crivellino's corpus to the reference to international hunting culture, in particular to the Flemish one, almost with the intention - as Arisi points out in the aforementioned monograph dedicated to the two Crivellis - to compete with those models. Canvases much appreciated by contemporaries and by the great aristocracy; Lanzi recalls Crivellino, among other things, who was very active at the Farnese court in Parma. The canvas in question depicts a fight between dogs and a bull in which the expressive power and strength that Crivellino's painting can achieve are fully manifested. The three dogs, caught in different poses, growling, with their mouths open seem to surround the bull in distress. The brushstroke is fast, yet defined, and vibrates, transmitting further excitement to the dynamism inherent in the scene. The rendering of the coats, of great quality, seems alive, making the idea of ??animal hair real. The bull, in difficulty, seems to turn its head ready to collapse to the ground. The dimensions of the fighting animals dominate the surrounding landscape, focusing attention on the fight, even if the architectural ruins and the distant sky fade are of great charm.

  • 16th Century Adoration of The Shepherds Painting Oil on Copper
    Located in Milan, IT
    Attr. to Girolamo Siciolante known as da Sermoneta (Sermoneta, 1521 - Rome, 1575) Adoration of the Shepherds Oil on copper, 39 x 29.5 cm Frame 47 x 39 cm The refined taste, the refined poses, the definition of the anatomies, the vibrant light, allow us to identify for this painting the hand of a Mannerist painter active during the sixteenth century. In particular, the composition and stylistic research allow us to attribute the panel to Girolamo Siciolante, known as da Sermoneta (1521 - 1575). His first training took place under the guidance of Leonardo Grazia known as da Pistoia (1502 - 1548). Later he settled in Rome where he was able to see the painting of Raphael and Michelangelo from life and where he was first a pupil and then a collaborator of Perin del Vaga...

  • 16th Century Adoration of the Shepherds Painting Oil on Copper by Carnevale
    By Carnevale Studio
    Located in Milan, IT
    Domenico Carnevale (Sassuolo, 1524 - Modena, 1579) Adoration of the Shepherds Oil on copper, 42 x 28 cm Frame 54 x 36 cm Expert opinion of Prof. Emilio Negro The painting represents the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Child in the center, next to the Madonna kneeling in prayer and an angel behind her; towards him in the foreground a woman with a child in her arms, a shepherd with a sheep on the right, a bagpiper on the left and various other male and female characters turn to him. The architectures of the background, between which a glimpse of the landscape can be glimpsed, are hidden in the upper part by the clouds, where a "celestial glory" encamps with three flying angels. The painting shows mannerist characters that can be traced back to the second half of the sixteenth century, and can be traced back to an author from the Modena area, with stylistic references to the Bolognese Samacchini (1532 - 1577) and Passerotti (1529 - 1592). More precisely, it can be attributed to Domenico Carnevale (1524-1579), one of the most important masters of the sixteenth century active in the local area. The Carnival was formed in Emilia, his homeland, where he worked for many years. However, his works also show a clear Roman influence, dictated by a long experience in the city, during which he also dedicated himself to the restoration of the Sistine Chapel. Trained in the late-mannerist environment of Modena, he is also linked to the Parmesan Corrorese and Ferrarese Dossesque tradition; Carnival also always maintains a slight archaic sentiment in his work, The main stylistic reference must be identified in a work similar in subject and iconographic setting, coming from the church of the Pio Istituto Orfanelle di San Geminiano di Modena, currently part of the Art Collection of the Province, attributed to the same influence as the Carnival. Another interesting comparison should be identified with A Presentation of Jesus in the Temple...
