About the Item

Famous for his paintings of animals, landscapes and still lifes, Giacomo (sometimes spelled Jacopo) Nani was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. Presumably born in Naples, Nani studied under Gasparo López and Andrea Belvedere whose style Nani often imitated. Nani became famous while working in the court of Charles of Bourbon, future Charles III of Spain (1716 – 1788). His work is featured in the collections of museums worldwide, especially his hometown museum in Naples. An excellent example of his work, this painting is signed in the lower left corner "Giacomo Nani." This painting depicts a hunting dog, alert but at rest, after a successful hunt. Surrounded by the trophies of the hunt including a musket, wild boar, quail, duck and fowl, the dog is painted in a Classical Baroque landscape with a Poussin blue sky, tall mountains and a walled city. The brown and white dog is probably the Bracco Italiano or Italian Pointer. The musket creates a strong diagnal in the composition separating the reds and greens of the foreground with the blues and greens of the background.
