About the Item

Saint George A follower of Giovanni Battista Cima, known as Cima da CONEGLIANO (Conegliano c. 1449 - Conegliano c. 1517) Oil on canvas 126 x 49 cm. Framed 143 x 65 cm. The painting immortalises St. George, a noble knight of the Christian faith, made famous thanks to a legend that arose during the Crusades, in which he was the protagonist of an epic feat, victorious over a fearsome Dragon that besieged an entire kingdom. Imbued with symbolic meanings of the struggle between Good and Evil, this feat made him a favourite subject in art, especially from the Renaissance onwards, as it allowed him to personify both chivalric and religious ideals and values. The young Saint, with his upright and proud posture, is portrayed here in his shining armour while holding in both hands the long lance, the weapon he will use to defeat the dragon. His torso, slightly turned to his right, pivots on his legs, which are firmly open in a compass shape. As a whole, the young man's attitude expresses an idea of strength and moral firmness. Defiladed, in the background, the princess devoutly watches the hero awaiting his help, while being held hostage by the ferocious beast; behind her is the high-walled kingdom of Selem, which the hero manages to free and convert to Christianity. Our painting is an excellent quality replica of the famous ‘Triptych of the Madonna and Child between Saints George and James’, painted by Cima da Conegliano around 1517 and now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts (Caen, France)*. An analysis of the general stylistic characteristics of the work allows us to propose a dating of the painting in the late 17th century or early 18th century, presuming an artist marked by experience gained in the Venetian area or by knowledge of 15th-century Venetian culture, characterised by a painting style still marked by refined classicism. *Trittico della Madonna col Bambino tra i santi Giorgio e Giacomo - Cima da Conegliano 1517, oil on panel, Musée des Beaux-Arts (Caen) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold complete with an attractive gilded wooden frame and comes with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card.

Knight Van Douw Paint Oil on canvas Old master 17/18th Century Flemish Art Italy
By Simon Johannes van Douw (Antwerp c. 1630 - c. 1677)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
After Simon Johannes van Douw (Antwerp c. 1630 - c. 1677) The stop of a traveler on horseback near a post station Oil painting on canvas 45 x 55 cm In frame cm. 55 x 65 In this pleasant painting, depicting a knight parked near a post station, the Flemish tradition is based on a strong Italianizing sensitivity, especially by observing the setting and its peculiar brightness. The mixture of genres and the particular style of execution make it easy to trace the authorship back to a Nordic author but active in Rome, or strongly influenced by the style in vogue in the Eternal city, between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: we are referring, in in particular, to a follower of the Antwerp Simon Johannes van Douw. The chromatic elegance and refinement with which he outlines the figures are typical aspects of his painting. The scene takes place outside a cottage, probably a post office for travelers, where a modest family divides the tasks by assisting the knights. We see a young boy who hands water to the horse before he sets off again, the father is preparing to feed him with straw and the mother who instead takes care of the little son. The Italian reminiscences, evident in our painting, have been absorbed by many Northern European authors such as Nicolaes Berchem, Philips Wouwerman or Johannes Lingelbach, all inspired by the leader Pieter van Laer...
