1630s

About the Item

Christian Charity is an original Old Master Painting realized in the first half of the XVII Century, most probably in the 1630s, by one of the pupils of the Italian artist Bernardo Strozzi (Genoa, 1581/1582 - Venice, 1644). Original Tempera on Canvas. The painting is a school replica of the autographed specimen kept at the Casale Monferrato Bischopric (Canvas, 90 x 67 cm). cf. C. Spantigati and G.Romano, From Musso to Guala. Reference: Catalog of the exhibition held in Casale Monferrato, 1999, pp. 142-143. 19th Century gilded wooden Frame is included. Total dimensions: 72.5 x 57 cm. Very good conditions. Bernardo Strozzi (Genoa, 1581/1582 - Venice, 1644). Born to impoverished parents in Genoa, Bernardo Strozzi trained under the Sienese painter Pietro Sorri (1556-1622), who was in Genoa around 1595-1597. Strozzi entered the Capuchin order in 1599 as a novice and became a brother in 1600, an obligation that, though brief, was to haunt him throughout his entire career. By 1609, Strozzi was granted a dispensation to leave the Monastery when his mother di lui fell ill and his unmarried sister di lui was without support. He immediately devoted himself full-time to painting and to various projects as an engineer for the port of Genoa. Among his most important commissions by him were the Madonna della Giustizia, c. 1620, for the Palazzo Ducale (now Louvre, Paris), the celebrated fresco cycle for Luigi Centurione's Villa at Sampierdarena (1623-1625), and the ill-fated and incomplete decorative cycle planned for Centurione's palace on the Strada Nuova in Genoa (also 1623-1625). At the same time, he produced highly esteemed portraits, altarpieces, and genre scenes. Strozzi, who was also called "Cappuccino," continued as an independent artist through the 1620s. Bernardo Strozzi also received important public commissions for allegorical figures in the Biblioteca Marciana and altarpieces in San Niccolò da Tolentino and the Chiesa degli Incurabili. He finished his career as he began it, working both as painter and engineer.
