Garden Landscape Monticelli Signed Paint Oil on table 19th Century France

1824-1886

About the Item

Antichità Castelbarco SRLS is proud to present: Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli (Marseille 1824 - ivi 1886) signed Animated Scene in a Garden Oil on panel 30 x 46 cm - Frame 45.5 x 63 cm An artist from an Italian family, Milanese in particular, Adolphe Monticelli was born in 1824 in Marseille, where he attended the local academy, before deciding to move to Paris to the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts, becoming a pupil of Paul Delaroche. When he met Narcisse Diaz, a member of the Barbizon school, in 1855, he joined this group of painters who loved to leave their painting studios to paint outdoors, in front of the natural model, which allowed him to find sincere inspiration, along the lines that, a few years later, would lead to the Impressionist phenomenon. The author of fantastic themes and gallant scenes lit by vibrant touches of light, Monticelli developed a true predilection for ladies and knights, linked in places of rocaille derivation and dominated by a profound elegance, such as the one under consideration. Contrary to academic precepts, he painted with daring brushstrokes, rebelling against the usual smooth precision, he loved to play with colour, using it in various gradations within a single painting, using these techniques to create romantic scenes and landscapes of parks and gardens bathed in light, without preparatory drawing, with a personal and lively manner of dense and sketchy brushstrokes, inspired by certain sketches by Eugène Delacroix Monticelli had often adopted Diaz's practice of introducing imagined nudes or elegantly dressed figures into his landscapes, with a singular alienating effect. Belonging to the generation immediately preceding the Impressionists, he was greatly admired by Van Gogh, to the point of becoming one of his reference points. After 1870, Monticelli returned to Marseille, where he would live in poverty, despite a vast and interesting production. A move that cost the painter a great deal, as it would only take him a few years, still in Paris, to catch on to the new Impressionist market and begin to achieve well-deserved success. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The painting is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card.

  • Landscape Crucifixion Christ Paint Oil on canvas Old master 17th Century
    By Scipione Compagni, or Compagno (Naples, about 1624 - after 1680)
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Scipione Compagni, or Compagno (Naples, about 1624 - after 1680) Fantastic landscape with the Crucifixion of Christ on Mount Calvary Oil painting on canvas cm. 47 x 62 with antique frame cm. 63 x 78 cm. We present with great pleasure this rich representation, executed in the second half of the seventeenth century, whose stylistic and composition features reflect the stylistic features of the Neapolitan lesson: the warm colors, the lively chromatic range, the quick but precise brushstrokes are elements that lead us, in particular, to the hand of Scipione Compagno. It fits fully into the classic production of the Neapolitan painter, characterized by compositions filled with numerous figures, assembled with great formal elegance, where the painter re-elaborates the mannerist suggestions but in a theatrical key and consequently reaches an extremely refined Baroque vision of the narrative. The reminiscences with the painting of Filippo Angeli are evident, but above all the similarities with Domenico Gargiulo, known as Micco Spadaro, distinguished by elegant and precious chromatic accords, and with some references to Roman painting of the early seventeenth century. In the work, in fact, references to Roman and Neapolitan classicism are observed, with the bright and bright palette that we can trace back to the painter's mature works. The painting, characterized by a multitude of characters, shows the scene of the Crucifixion on Mount Calvary, where the three crosses stand out against the background illuminated by a clear light, in an almost otherworldly atmosphere of a mountainous river landscape in front of the city of Jerusalem. in the distance. Watching the dying Christ tortured we can see the three Marys, with the Virgin in red dress and blue cloak, surrounded by other women and soldiers, some of them on horseback, one of whom holds a spear with which he inflicted the wound in the side of Christ. In the foreground, again, numerous men, women and children, who attend the scene of the Crucifixion. The bright and clear colorism of the work in question is typical of Neapolitan painting...

  • Landscape Village Market Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Flemish Art
    By Circle of Pieter van Bredael (Antwerp 1629 - 1719)
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    18th century Dutch school (circa 1700.) - Circle of Pieter van Bredael (Antwerp 1629 - 1719) A village square with a market scene oil on canvas, 78 x 108 cm., Framed 94 x 121 cm. Questa affascinante scena popolare con un brulicante mercato nella main piazza è un opera di un artist fiammingo attivo intorno al 1700: si tratta di un interesting spaccato di vita dailyiana di un piccolo villaggio dell’Olanda del Secolo d´Oro. Nella piazza brulicante di gente con sullo sfondo delle tipiche case ed una grande fontana zampillante, possiamo assistere al trambusto che ruota attorno al giorno di mercato, con figure di ogni estrazione sociale indaffarate nelle proprie attività. Anche is difficult to ricondurre la tela alla mano di un autore in particolare, data la predilezione di molti autori a questo genere di ricche composizioni, possiamo però avvicinarne l'esecuzione alla cerchia del pittore di Anversa Pieter van Bredael (Anversa 1629–1719). Van Bredael, che faceva parte di una grande famiglia di pittori, è registrato come allievo nella bottega di David Ryckaert III nel 1640. Dopo viaggi di studio nei Paesi Bassi e in Spagna divenne maestro della Gilda di San Luca ad Anversa nel 1651. Lavorò anche in Italia, soprattutto in Roma, dove venne strongly influenzato dallo stile compositivo del gruppo dei Bamboccianti. Era ben noto per le sue scene di mercato altamente fantasiose che illustravano lo spettro diversificato della vita dailyiana della città. I suoi dipinti di paesaggi sono caratterizzati da accenti di colori vivaci, spesso popolati da molte figure che non possono che evocare lo stile di Jan Brueghel il Vecchio. Vi mostriamo di seguito alcune operates dell’autore, con cui è agevole ravvisare stilistiche analogy e compositiva con il nostro dipinto. - Dorotheum, Vienne, Alte Meister...

    Scipione Compagni, or Compagno (Naples, about 1624 - after 1680) Fantastic landscape with the Nativity of Christ and the appearance of the angel to the shepherds Oil painting on canvas cm. 47 x 62 with antique frame cm. 63 x 78 cm. We present with great pleasure this rich representation, executed in the second half of the seventeenth century, whose stylistic and composition features reflect the stylistic features of the Neapolitan lesson: the warm colors, the lively chromatic range, the quick but precise brushstrokes are elements that lead us, in particular, to the hand of Scipione Compagno.

In the work, in fact, references to Roman and Neapolitan classicism are observed, with the bright and bright palette that we can trace back to the painter's mature works. The painting depicts, in a mountainous river landscape, in front of a large ancient building that stands on a rock, the birth of Christ with Joseph and Mary, surrounded by numerous shepherds who have come to honor the sacred event. On the right in the foreground a multitude of other figures, some of which indicate the birth of Messiah with their hands. From the top of a blue sky a luminous glow that pierces the clouds gives way to a crowd of flying angels who spread rays of light; this glow, directed towards a small group of figures, serves to immortalize a very interesting detail, that is the apparition of the angel to the shepherds (Luke II, 8-14) to announce to them the birth of the Savior. "... here I announce to you a great joy, which will be of all the people: today a savior, who is Christ the Lord, was born to you in the city of David. This is the sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger ". The bright and clear colorism of the work in question is typical of Neapolitan painting...

    Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788), circle of Landscape with river and resting shepherds First half of the 18th century   oil painting on canvas cm. 60 x 93, within a carved and gilded wooden frame cm. 75 x 108 This delightful landscape view animated by a family of shepherds who rest from their daily duties should be compared to the hand of Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788); In the landscapes painted by Zuccarelli the world is crystallized, frozen in a moment of idyllic quiet, where the 'Arcadian' sense of the landscape is rendered with that pictorial vivacity, chromatic lightness and compositional grace that we find in its entirety in his painting. By way of comparison we can compare our canvas to other compositions, including: - Landscape with river and resting shepherds, Accademia Carrara, Bergamo - Landscape with bridge and horseman, Accademia Carrara, Bergamo - Landscape with river, village, fisherman and shepherdesses' (Christie's, London May 1960, - Landscape with figures, Accademia Carrara, - Landscape with knight and figures, Accademia Carrara Tuscan by origin, Francesco Zuccarelli trained first in Florence with the landscape architect Paolo Anesi...

As an impressionist painter that emerged at the turn of the 20th century, Palmer took great interest in the picturesque American landscape, though he particularly focused on the rendering of this landscape glistening with snow. His pictures evoke an unreplicable natural serenity, and in this oil painting "The Winter Scene...
