About the Item

Genoese school of the second half of the seventeenth century Circle of Domenico Piola (Genoa 1627-1703) The Holy Family Oil painting on canvas 83 x 68 cm. - in an antique frame 99 x 82 cm. In the pleasant devotional work proposed, which depicts a classic Holy Family, the Virgin is portrayed, with a serene attitude, as she tenderly supports the Child in her arms, and Saint Joseph behind her, while lovingly observing the scene. The fulcrum of the composition in this graceful canvas is centered on non-verbal communication, transmitted by the exchange of glances and movements, by the attitudes and movements between mother and child. Their gaze that is sought, as well as the gesture of the two hands that cross, make the composition an emblem of maternal love, rendered by the author with great poetry. The stylistic analysis of the canvas, traced back to the hand of a painter of the Genoese school active during the seventeenth century, allows us to find strong correlations with some paintings by Domenico Piola (Genoa, 1627-1703), absolute protagonist of the Genoese Baroque culture , in a moment of maximum production intensity. Piola was the owner of the most important town painting workshop of the time, called "Casa Piola", where his sons Paolo Gerolamo and Anton Maria also collaborated. His production specialized in a type of profane and allegorical paintings of strong decorative value, intended for the decoration of Genoese patrician palaces. The reading of the canvas highlights its fast, almost sketchy touch and the use of low-bodied color, typical of his way of painting, characterized by a 'modern' language, updated to the major innovations that have come from driving centers such as Bologna and Rome. and therefore much appreciated by the rich patrons in Genoa in the seventeenth century. The painting is in good condition, complete with a beautiful antique gilded frame on which there are some slight lacks related to the time.

Holy Family St John Scarsella Paint 17th Century Oil on table Old master Italy
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Ippolito Scarsella, known as Lo Scarsellino (Ferrara, c. 1550 - 1620) workshop Holy Family with the Infant St John oil on arched panel 46 x 29 cm. in a small temple frame 75 x 55 cm This interesting work shows us one of the most sought-after iconographic subjects in the Christian tradition, presented here according to an ancient and proven scheme. We see the Virgin, majestic, in the centre of the scene while holding a chubby child, who is offering a small bird to the young St John (tradition has it that it is a goldfinch, one of the symbols of the passion of Christ) to be caressed. Completing the Holy Family, we can see Saint Joseph in the shadows, apart from the loving everyday scene depicted in the foreground, calmly leaning on his walking stick. Regarding the stylistic characteristics of this small panel, it is easy to recognise the influence of 16th and 17th century Emilian painting, which leads us to confirm its traditional attribution to Ippolito Scarsella (circa 1550 - 1620) from Ferrara, undoubtedly one of the most important artists of this pictorial context. It could very well be a trial sketch...

Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Anton Maria Piola (Genoa, 1654 - 1715) circle Madonna and Child Genoese school of the second half of the 17th century Oil on canvas 93 x 74 cm.- In antique frame 110 x 92 cm. (Work with expertise by Dr. Arabella Cifani) In the pleasing work proposed, depicting a classical Nativity scene, the Madonna is immortalised in adoration as she gently holds the sheet on which the Child is lying, with a gesture of protection and pride that facilitates an atmosphere of intimate recollection, in addition to the presence of three cherubs at the top. The stylistic analysis of the canvas can easily be traced back to a painter of the Genoese school and active during the 17th century, specifically with the devotional works from the workshop of Domenico Piola (Genoa, 1627-1703), an absolute protagonist of Genoese Baroque culture. Piola was the owner of the most important city painting workshop of the time, known as 'Casa Piola', where his sons Paolo Gerolamo and Anton Maria also collaborated. His production, which specialised in a type of highly decorative, profane and allegorical paintings, destined for the decoration of Genoese patrician palaces, also included a refined series of works of a religious nature.
