17th Century Annunciation Painting Oil on Canvas Workshop of Nuvolone
About the Item
17th century, Nuvolone workshop
Annunciation
Measures: Oil on canvas, 98.50 x 127.00 cm - with frame 144 x 115
Depicted is a canonical Annunciation which sees Mary on her knees interrupted by the swirling arrival of the archangel Gabriel who prunes as a gift some white lilies, a symbol of purity, as a reminder of the virginity and purity of the Virgin. The scene is enveloped in divine light whose rays radiate from the dove of the Holy Spirit.
The painting for stylistic and formal characteristics is to be attributed to an artist well acquainted with the work of the painters Carlo Francesco Nuvolone (Milan, 1609 - 1662), celebrated Milanese painter, part of a prolific workshop founded by his father Panfilo and his brother Giuseppe (1619-1703). The characteristic component of their work was that of the fusion between the two traditions, Lombard and Emilian, typical of the Nuvolone family. These collaborated in the decoration of the Chapel of the Sacro Monte d'Orta and in the frescoes in San Francesco in Trecate. Carlo Francesco was trained in the Ambrosian Academy founded by Borromeo under his father Panfilo and later with Giovanni Battista Crespi, known as Cerano ..
Carlo Francesco undergoes the suggestion of the vibrant pathetism of the two heads of the Lombard early seventeenth century, Cerano and Procaccini, which declines in a language with executive frankness, but static in the compositional articulation. In full maturity the language becomes more loose and mature, thanks also to the greater mastery of drawing, up to the full mastery of an expressive register now fully baroque, which finds its distinctive features in the airy direction of the scenes and even more in the prerogatives of the pictorial treatment, now animated by an atmospheric and leavening texture, capable of giving the figures a vaporous consistency, adequate to the soft inflection that inspires their expressions and attitudes.
Giuseppe remained more stylistically linked to his elder brother Carlo Francesco even if after the death of his more famous brother in 1662 he enjoyed considerable fortune as he remained the only popularizer of the fortunate "Nuvolonian" manner. Giuseppe thus prepares to mature and strengthen his own detached pictorial language: painting becomes more intense and solemn in the vivacity of the tones and in the complexity of the compositions; the narrative effectiveness of Giuseppe's painting and his ability to master large-scale representations.
The present painting can be compared, especially by looking at the figure of the Madonna, with the Virgin in the altarpiece of the church of Santo Sepolcro in Milan and in the Holy Family of the Ambrosiana Picture Gallery; another reference is the Annunciation of Brera by Carlo Francesco. But also to the madonnas of Giuseppe as in the Holy Family of Bregnano (Como), Madonna and saints of the Civic Museum of Piacenza.

- 17th Century Still Life Painting Oil on Canvas Area of RuoppoloBy Giovan Battista RuoppoloLocated in Milan, ITArea of ??Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo (Naples, 1629 - 1697) Still life with fruit and little bird Measures: Oil on canvas, 62 x 83 cm The still life in question shows juicy citrus fruits, among which we can recognize oranges and cedars, together with red berries scattered on the ground. A cheerful little bird rests on the edge of a terracotta pot in which some pink-mottled carnations grow. The landscape that can be observed all around is veiled by clouds and shaded by shrubs, while in the distance there is a green hill. Dominating the foreground and standing out from the dark background is the fruit which, lush and juicy, stands out in the vivacity of the colors in contrast with the dark background. The full-bodied brushstroke that delineates the wrinkled peel of citrus fruits to restore the realism of the fruit, just as the green leaves of the stems softly folded on themselves are sketched with extreme truthfulness, they ascribe the work to a painter working in the circle of Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo. Ruoppolo is a Neapolitan artist, specialized in the genre of still life, indeed De Dominici himself in his Lives of Neapolitan painters, sculptors and architects recognizes him a primary role in the Neapolitan school of the genre. He studied, together with Giuseppe Recco (1634 -?), In the workshop of Paolo Porpora (1617 - 1673). He painted almost exclusively fruit and flower paintings...Category
