Early 20th Century Study of Rembrandt’s Portrait of Old Woman Russian for Niello Engraving
A wonderful study of Rembrandt’s portrait of an Old Woman used for Niello engraving by Russian artist Eustaphy Pavlovich Shilnikovsky (Russian, 19th/20th century), circa 1910.
The artist studied under famous Russian engraver Vasily Mate. Shlinikovsky would later become the artistic director of the Northern Niello with the products of the factory made by his sketches. (Niello arts were important in the history of art because they had developed skills and techniques that transferred easily to engraving plates for printmaking.) In 1937 works from the town Veliky Ustyug, including Shilnikovsky's, were successfully exhibited at the International Exposition of Art and Technology in Modern Life in Paris.

A native of Veliky Ustyug, Eustapy Shilnikovsky was educated at the Petersburg Academy of Arts in the studio of the famous engraver Vasily Mate. His mentor was an important engraver in Russia during the late 19th century who collaborating with major Russian painters and produced engravings of their paintings, thus helping popularize Russian art.
After his returning to Ustyug, Shilnikovsky was carried away by the art of niello and from 1936 to 1962 he was the artistic director of the Northern Niello. For many years, the products of the factory were made by his sketches. In 1937, works from Veliky Ustyug were successfully exhibited at the International Exposition of Art and Technology in Modern Life in Paris.
Deep study of the features of the old niello art helped to E. Shilnikovsky in creating new ornamental and visual compositions. Hi works included traditional city landscapes; jubilee cups, glass-holders and bracelets were decorated with views of the Moscow Kremlin and Red Square. (Source: The Virtual Russian Museum)

- Spanish school. Secretary of Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos, bishop of Córdoba.Located in Firenze, ITPortrait of Francisco de Reynoso y Baeza. Secretary of Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos and bishop of Córdoba. Francisci de Reynoso. Early 17th century. Small-format portrait from the late Renaissance period. Spanish school. Size: Cm 19 x Cm 13.5 Oil on wooden panel. On the back the fine tablet is strengthened (already in ancient times) by a sheet of parchment. About 1600-1610. As often in Mannerist / Late Renaissance portraits, the image of the character is accompanied by the writing that runs at the top, adding a celebratory, historicising touch to the effigy. Let's bring back the sentence here: DON FRANCISCO DE REINOSO. CAMARERO SECRETO IESCALCO PIO QUINTO OBISCOPO CORDOBA. 68 (? O 7?) (1534, Autillo de Campos, Spain - 1601, Córdoba) Francisco de Reynoso was a Spanish cleric, chief chamberlain, and secretary to Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos, and bishop of Córdoba. He was the fourth of eleven children. His father was the seventh Lord of Autillo de Campos, and his mother was Juana de Baeza y de las Casas, daughter of Manuel de Baeza, a lawyer of the Royal Council and at the Court of Valladolid. Francisco de Reynoso was deeply devoted to the Virgin Mary and showed a strong inclination toward religion and piety from an early age. He studied Latin, arts, and theology at the University of Salamanca. In 1562, he traveled to Rome with his brothers Pedro and Luis. In January 1566, following the death of Pope Pius IV, Cardinal Antonio Michele Ghislieri was elected pope, becoming Pius V. From this period until Ghislieri's death in 1572, Francisco de Reynoso served as his chief chamberlain and secretary. After Pope Pius V died, Francisco de Reynoso returned to Spain and lived for several years in the city of Palencia, where his brother Manuel was a canon. He supported the Society of Jesus when it was established in Palencia, providing alms to the school's clergy and funding chairs of Letters and Theology at his own expense, as well as donating a significant number of books. During the brief outbreak of the Black Plague...Category

- Head of an AngelLocated in New York, NYProcaccini was born in Bologna, but his family moved to Milan when the artist was eleven years old. His artistic education was evidently familial— from his father Ercole and his elder brothers Camillo and Carlo Antonio, all painters—but his career began as a sculptor, and at an early age: his first known commission, a sculpted saint for the Duomo of Milan, came when he was only seventeen years old. Procaccini’s earliest documented painting, the Pietà for the Church of Santa Maria presso San Celso in Milan, was completed by 1604. By this time the artist had made the trip to Parma recorded by his biographers, where he studied Correggio, Mazzola Bedoli, and especially Parmigianino; reflections of their work are apparent throughout Procaccini's career. As Dr. Hugh Brigstocke has recently indicated, the present oil sketch is preparatory for the figure of the angel seen between the heads of the Virgin and St. Charles Borrommeo in Procaccini's altarpiece in the Church of Santa Afra in Brescia (ill. in Il Seicento Lombardo; Catalogo dei dipinti e delle sculture, exh. cat. Milan 1973, no. 98, pl. 113). As such it is the only known oil sketch of Procaccini's that can be directly connected with an extant altarpiece. The finished canvas, The Virgin and Child with Saints Charles Borrommeo and Latino with Angels, remains in the church for which it was painted; it is one of the most significant works of Procaccini's maturity and is generally dated after the artist's trip to Genoa in 1618. The Head of an Angel is an immediate study, no doubt taken from life, but one stylistically suffused with strong echoes of Correggio and Leonardo. Luigi Lanzi, writing of the completed altarpiece in 1796, specifically commented on Procaccini's indebtedness to Correggio (as well as the expressions of the angels) here: “Di Giulio Cesare...Category
