Pietro Benvenuti
Disegno figurativo neoclassico fiorentino del XIX secolo

inizi del XIX secolo

About the Item

Disegno inchiostro, gesso, acquerellature e rialzi a biacca su carta collegato alla serie di studi per la decorazione della Sala di Ercole di Palazzo Pitti a Firenze. Di mano di Pietro Benvenuti, artista toscano assunto per questa commissione prima da Elisa Baciocchi Bonaparte nel 1811 e, in seguito alla caduta del fratello Napoleone, riconfermato nel 1817 dal nuovo granduca di toscana, Ferdinando III. I lavori per la stanza durarono più di 10 anni, fino al 1829 circa. la scena raffigura Venere inginocchiata che sta implorando suo fratello Giove, probabilmente riferimento all'episodio dall'Eneide di Virgilio in cui prega per la salvezza del figlio Enea. Il disegno è pubblicato nella monografia sull'artista di Liletta Fornasari e proviene da una collezione molto importante, la collezione Batelli, come testimoniato dal timbro.

Chinese Erotic Album Leaf, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Despite its explicit content, this intimate scene conveys a sense of tenderness and romantic love characteristic of Chinese erotic art. Known as “spring palace paintings,” these ink and watercolor illustrations imagined the sensual delights of courtly life. Taken from an album of erotic paintings, this framed leaf departs from a tradition of depicting lovers in risqué outdoor settings by picturing an amorous coupling in a distinctly Qing-dynasty interior. The uniquely detailed surroundings shed light on the prevailing aesthetic tastes in decor and furniture of 19th-century China. Note the carved wooden headrest, blue and white censer...
