About the Item
Master of the Grotesque Vase (active in Rome and Naples in the first quarter of the 17th century)
Still life of flowers in a classic vase
oil on canvas
66 x 51 cm, In frame cm. 82 x 68
In this sumptuous still life we see a precious classical vase in partly gilded and embossed metal, animated by two protruding harpies with the function of handles, which collects a fine floral bouquet inside. Next to the vase, placed on a stone shelf, two small birds arranged symmetrically one in front of the other.
The elaborate artifact, protagonist as much as the floral varieties it contains, has a whimsical and bizarre shape, which is inspired by the features that are still late Mannerist. All evoke the magnificent studies of vases carried out, between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, by Polidoro da Caravaggio.
The shape and decoration of our vase reflect a very popular model in the seventeenth century, which art historians have brought together under the name of "Masters of grotesque vases". With this name a number of authors are grouped, probably active in different territories of Central Italy, mainly Rome and Naples, but also in the North, over a period of time extended during the seventeenth century. It is a rather archaic production of paintings, also very different from a stylistic and qualitative point of view, depicting bouquets of flowers in "old-fashioned" vases.
In particular, the painting offered here can be placed in the Neapolitan area for its stylistic and compositional characteristics, with strong analogy to the painter Giacomo Recco (Naples 1603 - before 1653), in the context of his production therefore maturing around the Six hundred. For example, see: Recco Giacomo, Still life with vase of flowers
Common peculiarities of these works are the use of embossed and chiseled metal vases in Mannerist style with figured handles and a richly decorated central body and the support surfaces consisting of a simple square stone parallelepiped isolated in the center of the pictorial field.
Other common features are the archaic, schematic and sometimes symmetrical arrangement of the flower bouquet, and above all the weak plastic and naturalistic rendering of the plants, which often appear as rigid shapes cut out and applied on the canvas.
The painting is in excellent condition, perfectly restored, accompanied by a beautiful golden frame.
The work, like all our objects, is sold with a certificate of photographic authenticity in accordance with the law.

- De Wit Flowers Still life Paint Oil on canvas 18th Century Flemish Cupids ArtLocated in Riva del Garda, ITJacob De Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754) attributable/ workshop Pair of Cupids with Garland of Flowers Oil on canvas 91 x 103 cm. - Framed 104 x 115 cm. Provenance: Christie's (London, Old master Painting 12.12.1996) lot 82 This magnificent composition depicts two cupids holding a garland of flowers, placed on a fine architecture with bas-reliefs and masks, presumably the top of a fountain. One of the two cupids sympathetically holds a part of it with his hands, while his head turns towards the viewer; the second cupid, on the other hand, must have clumsily broken the thread holding its end, and is sitting sullenly with a torch and a tear streaking his chubby cheek. The work, given its stylistic features and compositional taste, can be attributed to the Flemish artist Jacob de Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754), or to an artist from his workshop, with his typical triumphal and opulent style, which reveals clear influences from Rubens and Van Dijck, but also from Gerard de Lairesse...Category

- Still-Life Flower Landscape Castelli Paint Oil on canvas Old master Italian artBy Giovanni Paolo Castelli, known as Spadino (Rome, 1659 - 1730)Located in Riva del Garda, ITStill life in a landscape with fruit and game Work of the late Roman Baroque of the late seventeenth / eaarly eighteenth century attributable to Giovanni Paolo Castelli, known as Spadino (Rome, 1659 - 1730) oil on canvas 62 x 76 cm., Framed 90 x 109 cm. An open-air setting, with a hilly landscape gash that opens into the distance in the central part, surrounds our beautiful canvas, which showcases a rich selection of game and fruit, arranged in the foreground near the point of view of the observer, occupying a large part of the visual field with their bright and festive colors. The style and quality of the work, like the pictorial technique of this still life, characterized by subtle luminous vibrations and a lively chroma, make it attributable to the Roman Giovanni Paolo Castelli, known as Lo Spadino (Rome, 1659 - 1730), one of the most important specialists of this pictorial genre of late Baroque Rome, which had a very successful career between the 17th and 18th centuries. Analyzing the rich and heterogeneous catalog of the Roman master, in fact, our canvas can be included among his rare works which, alongside a selection of fruit - among which stand out large melons, ripe figs, dark grapes and plums - we see a game advert, presumably as requested by a patron who loves hunting. Next to various birds, spoils of a profitable hunting trip, there is also a small green woodpecker, with the characteristic red spot on the head, and a nice rodent that terminates from behind the trunk. The painter abandons himself to a skilful and brilliant chromatic texture of the surfaces, through a pictorial material rendered with exceptional vibration in its luminous and 'tactile' body, fully respecting the taste of the full Roman Baroque. The quality appears excellent, distinguished by a skilful and brilliant chromatic texture of the surfaces, which appear almost vibrant thanks to a skilful drafting of the pictorial material. Inevitable and evident are the Flemish suggestions, which had influenced the Roman Baroque still life, in particular the work of Abraham Brueghel...Category
