About the Item

Benedetto Luti (17 November 1666 – 17 June 1724) was an Italian painter of the late Baroque period, recognized for his contributions to the Roman and Florentine art scenes. Born in Florence, Luti initially trained under the guidance of Anton Domenico Gabbiani, and later he became a student of the prominent painter Giuseppe Chiari. Luti's early works were heavily influenced by the classical style and the legacy of the Italian Renaissance, showcasing his proficiency in portraiture and historical subjects. His talents earned him recognition and commissions from various patrons, allowing him to establish himself as a prominent painter in Rome. Luti's art also bore the influence of the Roman Baroque, particularly evident in his use of light and shadow, as well as his mastery of composition. In the early 18th century, Luti moved to Rome, where he further developed his artistic style and gained acclaim for his religious and mythological paintings. His works often displayed a refined elegance, with a focus on graceful figures and a delicate color palette. Luti's artistry was characterized by a synthesis of classical elements with the ornate and dramatic qualities of the Baroque. Benedetto Luti's career flourished, and he received prestigious commissions, including works for the Vatican and various Roman churches. His artistic legacy endured through his influence on the next generation of painters, leaving a lasting impact on the Baroque tradition in Italy. Benedetto Luti's paintings continue to be celebrated for their beauty, technical skill, and the unique blend of classical and Baroque aesthetics that define his artistic contribution to the Italian art scene of his time.

Three Angels
By Domenico Piola the Elder
Located in New York, NY
Provenance: Robert L. and Bertina Suida Manning, New York, until 1996 Private Collection, USA One of the leading artists in Genoa during the second half of the seventeenth century, Domenico Piola came from a successful family of artists, renowned for their many illusionistic ceiling programs throughout Genoese churches and palaces. A prolific draughtsman and painter, Domenico oversaw an extremely productive studio. In addition to his collaborations with numerous other artists, Domenico also provided many designs for book illustrations and prints that circulated throughout Europe, earning him international exposure and high acclaim in his own day. As Dr. Anna Orlando has indicated (written communication), the present work is an early work by Piola, datable from the late 1640s. At this time the young artist came strongly under the influence of Castiglione and Valerio Castello, while admiring the works of Giulio Cesare Procaccini. Piola’s works from this period are exuberant and fluid, and the artist’s love of portraying children is evident from the angels and putti that populate both his altarpieces and more intimate paintings.
