Study of a Fate at mid-body, a red chalk attributed to Giovanni da San Giovanni
Located in PARIS, FR
This spectacular red chalk drawing depicts an elderly woman, her eyes bulging, her hand stretched out towards the sky. This disturbing character, who seems close to dementia, and the elongation of her arm with its Mannerist overtones, plunge us into the Florentine artistic milieu of the first half of the 17th century. The proximity of this drawing to some characters in the fresco in the Pitti Palace representing The Muses, Poets and Philosophers chased from Parnassus, the last masterpiece of Giovanni da San Giovanni, leads us to propose an attribution to this artist and a dating of around 1635-1636.
1. Giovanni da San Giovanni, the painter of contradiction
We take here the title of the monography dedicated to the artist by Anna Banti in 1977, which remains the reference book for this artist. The son of a notary, Giovanni Mannozzi, known as Giovanni da San Giovanni, abandoned his studies to go to Florence at the age of sixteen, where he entered the studio of Matteo Rosselli (1578 - 1650) around 1609 and enrolled in the Academy of Drawing Arts in 1612. Around 1615 he produced his first known works, mainly frescoes for the city's tabernacles. He became famous in Florence for his originality, combining an obsessive application to the study of drawing and the reading of poetry and history with a disheveled appearance. Between 1619 and 1620 he decorated the facade of the Antella Palace in Piazza Santa Croce, a decoration that still partly survives today.
The death of Cosimo II in 1621 put an end to the Florentine building activity and Giovanni da San Giovanni left for Rome to find other sponsors with the painter Francesco Furini...

Satyr conversing with a Nymph, a drawing attributed to Claude Mellan
By Claude Mellan
Located in PARIS, FR
Provenance: Collection from central Italy in the 17th century (Stamp - probably L. 3900 - on the front, top left)
Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723 - 1792), stamped lower right (L. 2364)
This mythological drawing from the collection of Sir Joshua Reynolds has long been attributed to Pietro da Cortona, as evidenced by the inscriptions at the bottom and on the reverse. While the Italian collection stamp (which predates Reynolds') suggests that this drawing was executed in Italy in the 17th century, it seems to us to be much closer to the drawings produced in Rome in the entourage of Simon Vouet. Its numerous hatchings, evocative of burin work, and its luminous composition lead us to suggest an attribution to Claude Mellan, who befriended Vouet on his arrival in Rome in 1624.
1. The stay in Vouet's studio, an important phase in Claude Mellan's training
Claude Mellan was born on May 23, 1598 in Abbeville, where his father worked as a boilermaker and copper planer. In 1615, at the age of 17, he was apprenticed to Jean V Leclerc, a mediocre Parisian engraver. Nine years later, in 1624, he left for Rome with the support of Provencal scholar Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc.
Having established contact with the engraver Francesco Villamena (who died two months after his arrival in Rome), Mellan quickly made friends with the painter Simon Vouet, then at the height of his reputation in Rome thanks to his recent appointment as director of the Accademia de San Luca. Simon Vouet and Gian Lorenzo Bernini (known as Le Bernin...
