About the Item
Antonio Calza (1653-1725)
Scena di Battaglia
Olio su tela in cornice dorata
Dimensioni: 45x60 cm (68,5 x 84,5 cm inclusa la cornice)
Fine del XVII secolo
Nacque nel 1653 a Verona da padre orefice. Appassionatosi alla pittura, non volle seguire la professione paterna; all'età di undici anni fuggì a Bologna, dove entrò nella scuola di C. Cignani, che gli suggerì di dedicarsi alla pittura di battaglie e paesaggi. In seguito si perfezionò a Roma, studiando con il Borgognone, del quale avrebbe copiato le opere.
Tornato a Verona, Calza divenne ben presto famoso ed eseguì numerose opere.
Commesso involontariamente un omicidio, il Calza dovette allontanarsi da Verona e, stabilitosi a Bologna, venne considerato da quel momento come "pittore bolognese”.
Fra le opere eseguite a Bologna gli procurarono maggiore fama alcuni "ritratti in grande de' Marchesi Davio a cavallo con sotto varie battaglie”.
Nell'anno 1706 egli era a Venezia, dove nel 1708 sposò, Angiola Agnese Pakman, pittrice fiamminga di fiori, frutta e animali, che divenne sua collaboratrice.
Calza risulta dimorante anche a Milano, dove dipingeva assistito da due scolari, per il generale austriaco Martini, "un quadro di smisurata grandezza", raffigurante “La liberazione di Torino”. Chiamato in seguito da Eugenio di Savoia a Vienna, dipinse per lui una Presa di Belgrado;
Calza infine poté poi tornare a Verona, dove morì in tarda età, il 18 aprile 1725.
