About the Item

The Adoration is an original modern artwork realized by Giuseppe Assereto (died in Genoa in 1650) in the first half of the 17th Century. Original Oil Painting on Canvas. A 19th Century style gilded wood frame is included. The Autograph of the work was confirmed by Camillo Manzitti. Very good conditions. The frame is in excellent conditions too. Reference: C. Marcenaro, Pittori genovesi a Genova nel '600 e nel '700, Genova 1969, pp. 134 ; 135, n. 55. Z. Wazbinski, Un Quadro Caravaggesco Di Gioacchino Assereto, in Prospettiva, n. 26, 1981, pp. 60 ; 63. F. R. Pesenti, La Pittura in Liguria. Artisti del primo Seicento, Genova 1986, p. 397, nota 23. A. Gesino, Tracce di Matthias Stom nel collezionismo tra la Sicilia e Genova, in Caravaggio e i genovesi, catalogo della Mostra a cura di A. Orlando, Genova 2019, pp. 182 ; 195. The Adoration is an excellent example of the XVII Century Italian Painting. The style of the work denotes the suggestive influence of Assereto father's mature production, when influenced by Mathias Stom (Amersfoort, about 1600 - Sicily, after 1650) expresses dark sensibilities in a southern Italian style. In his works, however, there is an accentuated naturalism and interesting similarities with the production of Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione. Gioacchino Assereto died in 1650, while, according to Soprani, he was intent on painting a Last Supper for the oratory of S. Giacomo della Marina. In our case, however, there is a more accentuated naturalism and interesting similarities with the production of Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione. The canvas finds specific comparisons with other compositions by the master, in particular with that of the Emilian private collection made known by Tiziana Zennaro, but we must also remember here the canvases of the same subject already published as autographs by Assereto by Wazbinski in 1981 and Caterina Marcenaro in the catalogue of the 1969 exhibition, preserved at the Zeromski Muzeum in Poland and in a private Genoese collection. The painting reveals pictorial contempt of higher quality and in substance different from the Emilian version, finding better points of comparison with the Genoese editorial staff, in particular if we analyze the Infant Jesus and the faces of the figures. These clues consequently lead to date the work around 1650 and probably performed when Giuseppe carried out his activity in his paternal workshop and with him he experienced the fascinating nocturnal settings. The work has been created by Giuseppe Assereto (best known as "the Master of the Oratory of San Giacomo alla Marina") son and pupil of the more famous Gioacchino Assereto is also known as the "Master of the Oratory of San Giacomo alla Marina", which houses his most famous painting depicting the Preaching of San Giacomo (around 1650). Small biographical information is probably due to his short life.

The present painting is a very interesting testimony of the creative process of Matteo Bonechi, one of the leading artists on the Tuscan art scene in the early 18th century. The canvas in question is in fact the last preparatory model made by Bonechi before he executed an altarpiece for the church of San Filippo Neri in Cortona in 1716. The scene presented here is that of the Presentation of Jesus, when, forty days after his birth, the child is ransomed through an offering in the temple and placed in the hands of Simeon, who prophesies his future: the coming of the Messiah...
