L. Bernard
Orientalist Oil Painting of a Market Scene by Bernard

Late 19th Century

About the Item

Orientalist oil painting of a market scene by Bernard Continental, Late 19th Century Panel: Height 53cm, width 41cm Frame: Height 70cm, width 58cm, depth 6cm This oil on panel by L. Bernard from the late 19th century depicts an Orientalist market scene. A large portion of the composition is occupied by groups of people, both buyers and sellers. A woman is seen carrying a basket full of tomatoes on her head, while another dressed in a vibrant blue garment is carrying a vessel, too resting on her head. A male figure is riding a camel, looking down on the group gathered in front of him. Dressed in a muted colour palette with shades of yellows and oranges predominating, the artist portrayed a man leaning forward spilling water onto the ground. A woman, with two younger boys, possibly her children is crouching behind a large woven basket filled with spools of thread. L. Bernard painted the background full of brick constructions covered by hay, fabric, and wood to portray the look of market stalls, behind which a domed roof of a temple appears. The superb attention to detail demonstrated by Bernard makes this artwork an exceptionally fine Orientalist painting. The painting is signed to the lower right ‘L. Bernard’. It is framed in a giltwood frame and on the bottom panel is attached a label with the artist’s name.

  • Still Life of Bouquet in two-handled vases - Oil on Panel by Vincenzo dé Fiori
    Located in Roma, IT
    Still Life is a superb original oil painting on panel, realized by the Italian artist Vincenzino Volò, best-known as Vincenzino dei Fiori (Rémondans, 1620-Milan, 1671) around 1640-1660. Original Title: Natura morta di fiori entro vasi biansati (Still life of Bouquet in two-handled vases). On the back of the panel, two labels are glued "da Milano", "A Piacenza", ("from Milan" "to Piacenza"). The labels indicate a transfer of the artwork, perhaps in the first half of the twentieth century, from Piacenza to Milan. While instead the style and technique make us understand the artwork was commissioned or created in the Milan of Federico Borromeo, archbishop of Milan from1595 to 1630. The author of the painting can be identified in the person of Vincenzo Volò, a talented artist who fell into oblivion, recently rediscovered and appreciated. Founder of the Vincenzini family, he was born in Franche-Comté in 1620 (in the past its birth was erroneously fixed to 1606). In the mid-forties of the seventeenth century he arrived to Milan, and held a leading artistic role: he was the founder of a family workshop that imposed his style and strongly influenced Milanese collecting with his still lifes and influenced generations and generations of painters. Vincenzino also was the first painter of still life to work on the Bella Island for Vitaliano VI Borromeo and collaborated with well-known figure painters such as Francesco Cairo, Scaramuccia, Nuvolone and Fumagalli. As regards the style, the archaic tendency of Lombard painting of still life from the early decades of the seventeenth century is clearly evident, looking at primitivism and the happy schematization of the composition of the artwork. The dating of this artwork could be fixed around the first half of the seventeenth century because it is confirmed by the type of support, a wooden panel, always used by Vincenzino. As for the subject, Volò generally painted bouquets of flowers in two-handled vases placed on transversal planes seen from the front. It is possible to compare this work with other Dei Fiori's artworks: the pair of Flower Vases...
