About the Item

Felice Cignani (Bologna 1658 - Forlì 1724) The Miracle of Saint Francis of Paola Oil on canvas 165 x 111 cm In frame 182 x 129 cm Work accompanied by an appraisal by Prof. Emilio Negro The painting (oil on canvas, 166 x 114 cm) is well preserved and depicts Saint Francis of Paola miraculously healing a young girl brought before him by her parents, with her mother holding her sleeping little brother in her lap. Originally from the Calabrian city from which he takes his name and who lived between the 15th and 16th centuries, Francis was a member of the Franciscan order, venerated for his healing powers, whose motto was “Caritas”, which we find here in the inscription visible on the altarpiece at the end of the staff. He was an important religious figure whose fame spread beyond the borders of Italy to France: on the orders of Pope Sixtus IV, he travelled to France to the bedside of King Louis XI, and although he was unable to heal the ailing sovereign, he helped him to repent, to make amends for many abuses, and to settle outstanding issues with the Holy See. From a stylistic point of view, as noted by Professor Emilio Negro in his study, we are in the presence of an interesting work by an artist active in Emilia between the 17th and 18th centuries, in whose style it is easy to recognise the influence of Carlo Cignani's pictorial corpus, and therefore to identify an artist in his workshop, in this case revealing a reinterpretation of the pictorial texts of Guercino and Annibale Carracci. In view of these elements, it is likely that the work is by Felice Cignani (Bologna, 1658 - Forli, 1724), a painter of noble birth, as well as the son and pupil of Carlo. He became a highly regarded master in his own right, one of the last followers of his father's glorious workshop, where, as is well known, even the most demanding tasks were entrusted to the best disciples due to the numerous commissions. This gave the students the opportunity to collaborate to the best of their ability, learning the secrets of the profession directly from the head of the workshop. The detail of the two figures in the background is beautiful, a mother with her child in her lap, which cannot fail to evoke the beautiful Madonnas with Child so dear to the Cignani workshop. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The painting is sold complete with an attractive frame and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of purchased works, both in Italy and abroad, using professional and insured carriers.

Lombard School of the 17th century St. Joseph with Flower Stick Oil on oval canvas 92 x 70 cm. In antique frame 106 x 85 cm. The work shows us an intense image of St. Joseph, portrayed according to the classical iconography that sees him as a mature man holding in his hands a staff from which lilies bloom, symbol of the Virgin's purity. This iconographic attribute also alludes to his figure as God's chosen one as Mary's future husband. According to the apocryphal gospels, the Virgin had grown up in the Temple of Jerusalem, following a monastic lifestyle, and when she reached marriageable age, each of the suitors was given a dry branch...

Resurrection Christ Tiziano 16/17th Century paint Oil on canvas Old master Italy
By Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
The Resurrection of Christ Follower of Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)   Venetian school of the late 16th/early 17th century Oil on canvas 108 x 78 cm. - Framed 129 x 99 cm. This jewel of the Venetian school, a work executed between the 16th and 17th centuries by a Venetian artist, illustrates the episode of the Resurrection of Christ: as reported in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 28:1-7) the event is accompanied by an explosion of light and glow, with the figure of Christ rising into the sky. Christ's face, serene and victorious, looks up towards the Light and the Infinite, in contrast to his majestic figure, here constructed with the appearance of a classical sculpture, contrasted by an intensely luminous background. The Risen One firmly holds in His hand the banner (white with a red cross) of the Resurrection, also known as the flag of St. George, which iconographically represents His victory over death, while raising His right hand in a blessing act. With his feet he crushes a snake and a skull, a sign of Christ's triumph over sin and death. The painting belongs to the Venetian school and presents clear reminiscences with the works of Titian Vecellio...
