Carraccesque school of the late sixteenth century Francesco Brizio (Bologna, 1574 - Bologna 1623) attributed Mystical marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria Oil painting on canvas cm. 124 x 97 - in a fine antique frame cm.158 x 132 Catherine, the erudite princess of Alexandria who lived in the third century, is depicted here in the best known episode about her, or her "Mystical Marriage", symbolized by the wedding ring that Christ Child is about to place in the her hand. It is an iconography that was born in the fifteenth century and in many cases preferred over the more bloody martyrdom of the Saint with the wheel, and which served for a long time to visually translate the spiritual union of the faithful with God into a delicate allegory. The status of the bride of Jesus is testified by the sumptuous dress and the magnificence of the jewels worn, including a crown that collects the hairstyle, emblem of her royal dignity, a necklace that surrounds her neck and a precious brooch placed on the neckline. of the dress. Two sumptuous winged angels attend the scene who enliven the scene with their instruments, a lute and a cello, while a curious little cherub watches in flight from above, supporting a cloth of clear Veronesian ancestry. With regard to the stylistic canons of this beautiful composition, it is essential to point out that we are dealing with a work executed between the second half of the sixteenth century and the early seventeenth century, in which there are deep-rooted relationships with the pictorial examples of the Carraccis; the warm colors, the chromatic range is soft, the confident and detailed brushstrokes, are elements that, combined with the reminiscences of the Bolognese culture, lead us to place this valuable painting...

Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576) follower of Portrait of the emperor Julius Caesar (Rome 100 BC - 44 BC), inscribed above C. IVLIVS. CAESAR Portrait of the Emperor Octavian Augustus (Rome 63 BC - 14 BC), inscribed on top OCTAVIANUS II ROM IMP 17th century oil painting on canvas Measurements (cm.): 65 x 50, with frame 81 x 68 cm. The Latin writer Suetonius with his work 'De vita Caesarum' (and in particular with his tradition in the vernacular of 1543, edited by the Florentine scholar Paolo del Rosso) inspired Tiziano Vecellio who, in 1537, painted for Duke Frederick II of Gonzaga portraits of the eleven emperors, adorning the walls for a small room in the Palazzo Ducale in Mantua, later known as the Cabinet of the Caesars. These effigies were intended to establish the link between the new era and classicism with its splendor, as well as to celebrate the value and wisdom of the rulers, who perceived themselves, in their lordships, as valiant new emperors. Titian's paintings soon became enormously popular and many patrons and lords of the time, including Ferdinando d'Avalos, Marquis of Pescara and Governor of Milan or Vespasiano Gonzaga, turned to the workshop of the Cremonese Bernardino Campi...

Alexander van Bredael (Antwerp 1663 - 1720) - Signed lower left: A.V. BREDAEL F (ecit), Italian coastal landscape with market scene Oil painting on canvas (70 x 88 cm., framed 95 x 113 cm.) Provenance: Mercier & Cie, Lille, France, 05.28.2000, lot 223 Dorotheum, Vienna, 4.10.2000, lot 496 (estimate 18,000-22,000) The work, particularly rich in detail, depicts a fantasy coastal landscape, as the scene of a teeming morning market that animates the main square, with a multitude of characters, including fruit, vegetable and livestock merchants, fishermen in the distance and buyers. The signed painting is a typical work of the well-known painter Alexander van Bredael (1663–1720), a native of Antwerp, specializing in highly imaginative market scenes and village festivals, slides of everyday city life. His works are often set in Mediterranean landscapes, where the architectural models of Italian inspiration stand out, such as the classic village perched overlooking the shore, and the particular fountain that stands out in the center of the square, decorated with masks, female figures and a statue of a satyr on top. Even the style with which the characters are outlined and the tasty genre scenes perfectly reproduce the prototypes of the master, characterized by a use of bright colors, and by an extremely refined attention to detail, which combines his ability as a landscape architect to that of naturamortista. Finally, the particular beauty and wealth of detail with which the depictions of animals are rendered, the beautiful and rustic still lifes exhibited by the vegetable and fruit seller, the silhouettes of the characters, minutely described and enjoyable in every detail, deserve mention.

Portrait of a gentleman, workshop of Nicolas de Largilliere, circa 1690, Paris Sublime portrait of a gentleman with a palette of rich and vivid colors. He is depicted half-length, turned three-quarters, face to face. Soft and kind expression, the vivacity of the look, its calm serenity, grant an intense presence to the model. Wearing a loose wig of curly, powdered hair, this flow of vaporous curls cascades over his shoulder and enhances his face with regular features, illuminated by intense lighting and delicately nuanced by the gray tones of his emerging beard. Dressed in a shirt whose white lace collar can be seen, he wears a lapis blue velvet jacket with gold thread stripes and a moire silk lapel. Wrapped in a large red velvet coat, embroidered with silver thread, lined with brocaded yellow silk, held on his chest by a stapled leather strap. A delicate pink ribbon is passed through the collar of his shirt, the ends falling on the front like flying in the wind. Intense lighting concentrated on the figure plunges the background of the portrait into darkness. The dominant primary colors red and blue, chromatically opposed, are surprisingly harmonious and testify to the audacity of the artist who applies saturated colors to create a vibration of the material itself. The fabrics, the brushed velvet with ridges illuminated by generous serifs, the brocaded silk with a virtuoso brush, the lace and embroidery with a fine and precise design. A successful dazzle by the brilliance of the colors and a refined execution. French School circa 1690-1695 Workshop of Nicolas de Largillière (Paris, 1656-1746) Oil on canvas in oval shape H. 31.50 in, w. 24.40 in Carved and giltwood orignal frame with flower bouquets Framed dimensions: h. 41.73 in, w. 35.03 in Our work painted in the studio of Nicolas de Largillière, is marked by a learned eclecticism characteristic of this Parisian master. Inspired by the Antwerp Baroque masters Rubens and Van Dyck, the painter brings a spectacular dimension and seeks through the portrait to impress the viewer with its aesthetic and chromatic strength alone. We find his colors and this excution of baroque tradition in several portraits of this period, such as: Portrait of a gentleman, circa 1685, Chateau de Parentignat portrait of a gentleman, circa 1690, Atlanta Museum of Fine Arts portrait of a gentleman, Bemberg Foundation, Toulouse portrait of the Lord of Noirmont, National Museum of Ancient Art, Lisbon, Portugal Nicolas de Largilliere, born October 2, 1656 in Paris, where he died March 20, 1746, is a French painter. He is one of the most famous portrait painters of the 17th and 18th centuries. Nicolas de Largillière's long career spanned the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XV, during which he established himself as a leading portrait painter. His female effigies...

Marco Ricci (Belluno 1676 - Venice 1730) attributable to Coastal landscape with port city and boats oil painting on canvas 82 x 126 cm., In gilded frame 93 x 137 cm. Provenance: purchased by the previous owners around 1970 in Vienna, at the Hofstätter Gallery (as Marco Ricci) We present with great pleasure this vast and harmonious composition of a coastal view with a fortified city overlooking the sea and a rocky cove in the foreground with several boats, including a vessel. The work, coming from a prestigious Austrian collection, bears a historical attribution to the sphere of Marco Ricci (Belluno 1676 - Venice 1730) who, by virtue of the stringent compositional and stylistic similarities that we can find with the autograph works of the Venetian master, we feel we can confirm. Our marina wisely combines elements taken from life with elements drawn from the author's imagination, set within a wide-ranging perspective framework; the canvas is then enveloped in a diffused but natural luminosity, evoking that sense of atmosphere which is a prelude to eighteenth-century vedutism, but without having those markedly rocaille characteristics. Among the innovations introduced by Marco Ricci in landscape painting, and which we find in our beautiful painting, there is the experimentation of light in its possibilities of atmospheric rendering. The painting in question shares many details with the master's works, such as the mountain ranges that dissolve into the background taking on silvery tones, the tree motif in the foreground and the classic rocky spur, as well as the small figures that animate the scene and still the city ​​on the coast dotted with bell towers and towers, in addition to the compositional cut of the view that expands in depth in a modulated succession of perspective plans. Finally, we can trace the characteristic light effects of the master, highlighted here by the cleaning intervention just carried out in our restoration laboratory, previously obscured by an amber paint that prevented the correct reading of the pictorial material. Trained on the study of the great Venetian tradition and, above all, on Titian's models, Marco Ricci had started his painting activity in the workshop of his uncle Sebastiano. After an important trip to England and Holland, the direct knowledge of Nordic painting - in particular of the works of Johann Anton Eismann, Pieter Mulier...

Piedmontese painter of the eighteenth century Pendant of paintings Landscape with wild boar hunting scene Landscape with pastoral scene Oil on canvas, 66 x 132 cm, framed 68 x 134 We show you this pleasant pendant of paintings, characterized by a clear atmosphere and a delicate chromatic harmony, in perfect harmony with the rocaille taste of the Savoy capital of the full of the second half of the 18th century, and can be compared to a Piedmontese painter, presumably active in Turin in that period. The first work, with a pastoral and Arcadian character, shows a small group of shepherds, intent on guarding their animals: the romantic theater that sees a shepherd on horseback singing a song to cheer the rest of the companions to make the scene affected. In the second work, however, the composition is centered on the lively and rich group of figures of hunters who, armed with swords and spears and with the help of hunting dogs, surrounded the wild boars. The style of our two canvases, as well as the type of subject represented, evokes the compositions of Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli (Turin, 1730 - 1800) with the illustrative tradition repeatedly addressed by the author, the main landscape painter of Piedmontese Rococo, as recalled in the canvases made for the Palazzine di Stupinigi and Racconigi. His technical ability and his rigorous craft earned him the esteem of the Savoy court and consequently of the Piedmontese nobles. His workshop expanded considerably due to the numerous commissions, inducing him to avail himself of the help of a considerable number of workers, apprentices and professional painters who deal with the landscape, figures or costumes according to their specialization, so it becomes difficult to establish whether a work is a workshop or an independent painter. Paintings of this format and of these subjects, often made in groups, were commissioned to be placed in palaces or in small Piedmontese and Lombard castles. Shape and size would suggest that the canvases were originally placed as over the door...

Roman school of the early 18th century Luigi Garzi (Pistoia 1638– Rome1721) attributed Still life of fruit supported by three angels Oil on oval canvas 116 x 91 cm., Framed 140 x 119 cm. Authentication on a photograph by Prof Giancarlo Sestieri, who attributes the work to the sphere of Luigi Garzi This magnificent canvas, depicting a sumptuous composition of fruit supported by three prosperous winged cherubs, from which comes a parchment bearing the Latin expression "Amor est vitae essentia", is to be placed in the production of a Roman author active between the second half of XVII century and the first of the following century. The iconography that sees represented cherubs with fruit or flowers is frequent in the Baroque period, especially in the Roman area, starting from the 1600s, with that particular depictional tendency aimed at illusionistic and frivolous images, to a type of paintings or frescoes of strong value decorative, intended for the private context and depicting jubilation of cherubs, angels or cherubs, and of which our canvas represents a perfect example. We can recall, among the most illustrious iconographic precedents, the elegant mirrors painted by Mario Nuzzi and Carlo Maratta that adorn the hall of Palazzo Colonna in Rome, and again the canvas preserved in the Rouen museum and the similar ones in Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia, with the collaboration for the figurative parts of Filippo Lauri. The commercial and furnishing success of similar works is also testified by authors such as Guglielmo Cortese known as Borgognone (1628 - 1679), Franz Werner Von Tamm (1658 - 1724), Giovan Battista Gaulli (1639 - 1709), Giovanni Paolo Castelli known as Spadino (Rome 1650 - 1740) and the aforementioned Carlo Maratta (1625 - 1713) The work, studied by Giancarlo Sestieri, was brought closer to the sphere of the eclectic Pistoian painter Luigi Garzi, one of the protagonists of Roman painting in the decades of transition between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In our painting we can find the typical elements of his painting: the soft and delicately chiaroscuro light, the sculptural classicism of the figures as well as the stupendous luministic and chromatic effects. Luigi Garzi's training and artistic activity took place in the Eternal City and he was in effect a Roman artist. He moved to Rome from Pistoia, his hometown at a very young age, and joined the atelier of Andrea Sacchi, who directed his studies towards classicism, comparing himself with the works of Raphael, Domenichino and Nicolas Poussin, but also with the Emilian one. , with particular attention to the school of Guido Reni. But the Emilian examples were undoubtedly preceded, particularly by Giovani Lanfranco, who modeled his taste and style, together with a modulated cortonism, while those pre-eighteenth-century sensibilities are due to the lesson of Carlo Maratta. However, there is no doubt that the painter oriented his personality without ever bowing to imitation, reaching a refined elegance and autonomy of language, as the canvas in question clearly demonstrates in which the different influences find a refined amalgamation in perfect harmony with the baroque evolution between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, indicating a dating to its earliest maturity. These attitudes led the painter to obtain awards and prestigious commissions as soon as possible, such as the frescoes of Palazzo Borghese...
