Portrait Woman Parodi 17/18th Century Oil on canvas Old master

1690-1730

About the Item

Domenico Parodi (Genoa, 1672 - 1742) Portrait of Anne Marie d'Orléans (Château de Saint-Cloud, 27 August 1669 - Turin, 26 August 1728), first queen consort of Sardinia and maternal grandmother of Louis XV of France Oil on oval canvas 75 x 58 cm Framed 88 x 72 cm. The painting depicts a young noblewoman, identifiable as Anne Marie d'Orléans (St.Cloud 27 August 1669 - Turin 26 August 1728), daughter of Philip of Orléans (brother of Louis XIV), who later became the wife of Victor Amadeus II of Savoy in 1684. The noblewoman, immortalised in a half-length pose with an expression winking with a smile, is richly dressed in a blue dress decorated along the wide neckline with white lace, embellished with numerous jewelled details, and is wrapped in an iridescent red cloak. For iconographic comparisons see a painting in the Royal Palace, published in the exhibition catalogue 'Royales effiges' in Chambéry (cf. exhibition catalogue, Chambéry 1985-1986, p. 25), a full-length portrait in Racconigi (cf. Noemi Gabrielli, 'Racconigi', Turin 1972, p. 202;) and an oval in the Galleria Sabauda (in M. L. Moncassoli Tibone, 'Portraits for a King. Vittorio Amedeo II dalla storia all'immagine", Turin 1991, p. 17). The absence of royal attributes makes it impossible to circumscribe the date, although we can assume that the work was painted in the first decades of the 18th century. The painting, given its stylistic features, is in our opinion a work attributable to Domenico Parodi, one of the best Italian portrait painters between the end of the 17th century and the first half of the 18th century, who, just as our effigy shows, set his art according to the most usual French models, fully belonging to the genre of the ''French-style'' portrait, inaugurated by Hyacinthe Rigaud at the beginning of the 18th century, known thanks to the numerous copies and engravings. Indeed, it must be remembered that the intense cultural interchange between France and Italy led the Italian nobility to nurture a profound admiration for the pictorial taste imported from France, especially between the first and second decade of the 18th century, becoming an indispensable model for authors such as Parodi. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is completed by a nice gilded frame and is sold with a certificate of authenticity and guarantee.

Portrait Paint Oil on canvas Old master 16/17th Century Italian Raffaello Art
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Tuscan painter active towards the end of the 16th century Portrait of Captain Niccolò Orsini (Pitigliano, 1442 - Lonigo, 1510), count of Pitigliano and Nola. Tuscany, end of the 16th century Oil on canvas, 64 x 47 cm., Framed 89 x 73 cm. The portrait we present to you shows the effigy of a vigorous high-ranking male figure in armor, in the most typical Renaissance pose, half-length and taken in profile, with his face and gaze turned to the side; the serious and intense expression and the facial features evoke at first glance the portraiture of early Florentine mannerism. He is Niccolò III Orsini (Pitigliano, 1442 - Lonigo, 1510), count of Pitigliano and Nola and son of Aldobrandino Orsini, famous leader and captain (or capitano di ventura) who lived between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, who served for the state Pontifical in Naples and Florence and above all for the Republic of Venice. Portraiture with these characters, which derives from ancient coinage, was used in the sixteenth century in the sequences of Portraits of Illustrious Men, both in painting and in sculpture. The profile portrait was in fact a genre reserved, according to the Renaissance tradition, for celebrations, presenting those characteristics of imperturbability typical of the military role covered. Our painting is a work created by an author active in Tuscany towards the end of the sixteenth century, adhering to those pictorial styles made famous by the portraitist Cristofano di Papi dell'Altissimo (1530-1605), a pupil of Bronzino and then of Pontormo, known for having created a collection of about 500 portraits of illustrious men, known as the 'Gioviana Series' (now in the Uffizi Gallery); and among these it is possible to identify one dedicated to Niccolò Orsini. Our painting is inspired, in particular, by a print taken from the collection of prints...
