School of Andrea del Sarto (Florence, 1486 - Florence, 1530), San Giovannino

16th Century

About the Item

School of Andrea del Sarto (Florence, 1486 - Florence, 1530) Saint John Oil on panel, 57 x 39 cm Framed, 67 x 49 cm The panel depicts St. John, recognizable by his staff and red cloak slipping over one shoulder. The subject is silhouetted as a full-length figure against a dark background, barely pierced by the sunset revealing a mountain landscape. The saint, still a child, is caught with his body in profile while his head is turned in the direction of the viewer to seek his attention. The left arm is outstretched and grasps the staff firmly pointed at the ground, and in a kind of chiastic correspondence, the right foot is brought forward in relation to the other, as if the saint had been interrupted in his path. The subject echoes the features of the infant Jesus in Andrea del Sarto's panel Madonna and Child with St. John in the Wallace Collection in London, varying only the position of the lower limbs. Even the pictorial impasto-here dominated by dark, contrasting colors in contrast to the London panel played on brighter hues-refers to del Sarto, especially in the peculiar shaded effect, the master's stylistic hallmark. Nicknamed by Vasari the "without error," Andrea d'Agnolo di Francesco di Luca di Paolo di Migliore Vannucchi (Florence, 1486 - Florence, 1530), was a master of the entire first generation of "eccentrics" (Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino in primis), but unlike his pupils he renewed the traditional repertoire in a graceful way, through the accentuation of the monumental breath of the figures, the variation of color and technique. The London panel, as well as other Madonnas with Child by Andrea del Sarto, has been variously reproduced by other artists in his circle, but also by Domenico Puligo, an artist who was a pupil of Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio but heavily indebted to del Sarto's inventions. Therefore, it is reasonable to argue that the author of the present is to be considered an artist related to the school of Andrea del Sarto.

By Angelo Monticelli, Dancing Putti
Located in Milan, IT
Angelo Monticelli (Milan, 1778-1837), attr. Dancing putti Oil on canvas, 122.5 x 131 cm The canvas presented here, referable to the 19th century, constituted an exquisite example of a painting made to decorate a boiserie, as evidenced by the particularity of the format and the ornamental subject matter. The theme of dancing putti takes up a widely used and experimented model around the 1620s, on which the greatest artists tried their hand: pordenone, author of the Dance of Putti now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, for example, was able to make use of multiple visual models to fine-tune this complex and original composition, such as having known Marcantonio Raimondi's famous engraving with a gyre of cupids, derived from an invention of Raphael himself and dated between 1517 and 1520. Over the following centuries, the fame of this prissy subject was never diminished. In fact, the work under consideration can be attributed to the hand of 18th-century artist Angelo Monticelli, who specialized in tempera drawing and was a pupil of painter Andrea Appiani (1754-1817), active mainly in Lombardy, where, for the Teatro alla Scala he designed the figures of the box parapets (1807) and the curtain (1821). In 1826, during the repainting of Ferrara's Municipal Theater, Monticelli decorated the plafond with an Apotheosis of Lodovico Ariosto. The curtain of the Rossini Theater in Pesaro is also by his hand. For the Duke of Lodi Francesco Melzi...
