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.

- Oil on Canvas Painting Portrait of the Italian Noble Family of Zanardi CountBy Lucia Casalini TorelliLocated in Firenze, ITThis museum quality old master oil on canvas formal portrait painting depicting the family of the Count Zanardi is signed by the artist- the female painter Lucia Casalini Torelli- and published in a book dedicated to Casalini Torelli’s workshop and academy. This palatial masterpiece artwork comes directly from the ancient Villa Maraini Guerrieri - Palidano di Gonzaga (Mantua), an historic Italian heritage building owned by the descendants of the family portrayed for more than two centuries, until 1998. The big scale of this oil on canvas masterpiece painting states the relevance of Lucia Casalini Torelli as a painter. The present artwork is a formal family portrait painting that aim to introduce the characters depicted according to their social role in the society. The noble family is all gathered under a loggia overlooking a park, the landscape in the background is partially covered by a beautiful red cloth on the right side. The father stands up and holds the hand of his eldest son, proudly introducing his future heir. The son wears a light-blue dress and red boots, he is depicted in a serious pose holding a black tricorn hat under his arm and a rapier sword on his belt. The mother wears an elegant gold and dark green brocade dress, she is sitting with her youngest daughter on her knees while her second son is by her side. The little daughter wears a lovely long red and dress with white lace and holds an apple on her hand. The son stands next to his mother and is dressed in a brown priestly clothes. This palatial old masters piece was probably painted in 1740 due to the similarities with Cardinal Doria’ s portrait, now on display at the Doria Palace Museum, the official residence of the Prince of Genoa. The painting features original canvas (“prima tela”) and antique original patina, it is in excellent overall condition considering the age, use and its large scale. A formal detailed condition report and the results of the inspection with the UV lamp accompanied by photos is available on request. As well as for its exceptional quality and quite perfect state of conservation, this painting is particularly important and even more valuable both for the artist who painted it and for its absolutely exclusive provenance. Lucia painted the most prominent and powerful noble families of her time, the location of these paintings is unknown to the art market as it is extremely likely that the portraits are still kept in private collections. Furthermore, Lucia was one of the most appreciated artists of her time, so important that she was admitted as a member of the academy at a time when women were forbidden to attend these studies. In 1706, Felice Torelli...Category
