About the Item
XX century, Pair of Italian Oil Paintings with Chinoiserie Landscapes
Provenance: Pietro Accorsi collection, Turin (Italy)
This delightful pair of paintings was made, in oil on canvas, in Piedmont, Italy, at the beginning of the 20th century.
The canvases depict two Chinoiserie landscapes. The outdoor environments are characterized by the presence of lakes and creeks, with bridges and boats typical of the East. The houses and architectures present are characteristic of China, as well as the characters that enliven the scene, dressed in traditional clothing. The vegetation that adorns and decorates the landscapes, creating the scenes and balancing the composition, reflects the Chinese taste. The color palette is played on shades of green and ocher with white, blue and red elements. Some details are gilded in order to bring more brightness to the scenes. The whole is very pleasant and particularly decorative and the oriental subject is always confirmed of timeless charm.
The French term "Chinoiserie" are refers to a period of European art, from the eighteenth century and the nineteenth century, in which there was a considerable influence of Chinese art, also in the wake of a growing interest that Europe had developed for everything exotic in general. This period was characterized by the use of imaginative images of an imaginary China and palaces and living rooms of the nobility and the rich bourgeoisie were soon furnished with objects from the Far East or made in Europe with obvious derivation and inspiration to the ornate Chinese.
The pair of paintings, thanks to its ornamental value, is suitable for any environment and furnishing context.

- 18th Century Italian Oil on Canvas Painting with Battle by Antonio CalzaBy Antonio CalzaLocated in ITAntonio Calza (Italy, Verona, 1653-18th April 1725) "Battle between Christian and Turkish cavalry with castle" The painting depicts a bloody battle between Christian and Turkish cavalry. Characterized by dynamism, intensity of color and light, the main scene occupies the lower horizontal section of the canvas, optically interrupted by the black fumes of the shots from which emerge, on the left, the towers of a fortress. On the right, in the distance you can see the combat in progress in the countryside, beyond which you can see the pale presence of hills that create a fifth, marking the horizon. To frame the scene contributes to the left, against light and in the foreground, a portion of the wall. The painter, however, introduces a horse on the ground, of which we see only the back, a ruse to involve the observer making him become active and participate in the scene. In the foreground, lifeless bodies, wounded horses and, scattered on the ground, weapons and a drum enhance the drama of the clash. The excitement and expressive force, the intense chromatic range attentive to the conditions of light and the fine brushstrokes, decisive and dramatic, suggests the attribution to Antonio Calza, one of the most important painters of battles of the seventeenth century, excellent student and continuator of the greatest interpreter of the genre, Jacques Courtois called il Borgognone (Saint-Hyppolite 1621 - Rome 1676). Il Borgognone, although not having had a real school or direct students, places itself as a primary reference point by the Italian and foreign "battaglisti". The genre of battle painting found great success in the collections of the Italian and European nobility of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The battles of the Italian Renaissance, in which the scene converged towards a precise protagonist, evolve towards a type of combat "without hero". The bloody realism of the details and the dynamic development of the narrative confuse the figure of the protagonist, when present, to give importance to the swirl of horses and armed fighters, among which, moreover, does not emerge a winner. The certain documents relating to the life and movements of Antonio Calza are scarce; it was equally difficult to reconstruct, from the critics, a catalogue of autograph works. Through paintings in private collections, in museums and paintings passed on the antiques market it has been possible to identify a copious corpus of works that can be traced back to his hand. The work of art historians, together with that of antique dealers, in conferring proper attributions in order to best outline the figure of Calza, continues but studies are still in progress. In this sense, the work of Giancarlo Sestieri should certainly be noted, who investigated the artistic production of the battaglisti and Calza, thus allowing the comparison of the numerous photographic works reported, to identify and recognize the stylistic qualities that distinguish the corpus of paintings assigned to him today. Antonio Calza was born in 1653 in Italy, in Verona and in 1664 he entered the school of Carlo Cignani in Bologna, dedicating himself to painting battles and landscapes. He then perfected in Rome, where he knew the works of the then undisputed head of the sector, Jacques Courtois called the Burgundian. In 1675 he returned to Verona and married an 88-year-old widow who, dying, left him a rich inheritance. Much appreciated by the nobility and the bourgeoisie, he received numerous commissions. Bartolomeo Dal Pozzo (Le Vite de' pittori, de gli scultori et architetti veronesi, 1718) praises "three great paintings of battles...Category
