Carlo Antonio Tavella (Milan, 1668 - Genoa, 1738)
Arcadian landscape with shepherds and flock
Oil on canvas, 58 x 97 cm
Framed, 67 x 105 cm
The canvas under consideration is inscribed in the vast artistic corpus of the painter Carlo Antonio Tavella (Milan, 1668 - Genoa, 1738), considered among the most prolific artists of the Baroque period especially in Genoa, the city that saw him active most of all. Born in 1668 in Milan to a pair of Genoese merchants, Tavella began his earliest training at the studio of Giuseppe Merati, where he stayed for about three years, landing in 1681 in the well-known workshop of the landscape painter Jan van Grevenbroeck known as the Solfarolo, with whom he remained until the age of twenty-one (1689) and where he was able to practice copying and drawing, especially in what concerned landscapes and villages on fire, the master's specialty. In the same years the artist undertook a series of journeys between Lombardy, Bologna, Florence, Pisa and Livorno, which led to his acquaintance with the works and pictorial languages of Gaspard Dughet, Salvator Rosa and Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, from whom he assimilated elaborate scenic compositions and an excellent rendering of atmospheres and related changes of light. It was probably Tavella's constant contact with the Tuscan milieu that allowed him to keep up to date with Roman proposals, as evidenced by a number of drawings preserved in the Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe at Palazzo Rosso in Genoa, since in all likelihood the artist never stayed in the capital: his relationships with Roman-cultured landscape painters active at the court of Ferdinando de' Medici, including Crescenzo Onofri, Dughet's pupil and collaborator in Rome, and his direct vision of the cycle of frescoes with a landscape subject, painted by Pandolfo Reschi in the loggia of the Villa della Petraia in Florence, represented a fundamental stage in the artist's continuing education.
After a very brief return to Milan, the decisive move to Genoa took place in 1690 (interspersed with brief trips to Milan, Bergamo and Brescia), where he was able from the outset to engage with the production of the Dutch painter Pieter Mulier II known as Cavalier Tempesta, whose favorite pupil he was, and to complete important commissions such as the decoration with fresco landscapes of the Liberal Arts room in what is now Palazzo Rosso (inspired by the taste of those made by Mulier himself in the Palace of Nicolosio Lomellino in Genoa). In the Ligurian capital Tavella started a very large production of landscape paintings for the local nobility and for Lombard, Piedmontese and foreign patrons, introducing into his views figures of saints, shepherds, peasants and washerwomen borrowed from repertory sheets provided by Paolo Gerolamo Piola and Alessandro Magnasco. Of notable artistic merit are the various Landscapes with Figures preserved at Palazzo Bianco, the Landscapes with Saints now at the Linguistic Academy of Fine Arts in Genoa, or even the canvases exhibited at Palazzo Durazzo Pallavicini in Genoa or at the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, which share with our canvas a subtle and dynamic brushstroke, accompanied by a distinctive color palette, oriented toward pastel tones and modulated on the contrast between light and shadow. It was precisely the skill in atmospheric description that helped infuse his landscapes, tracing classical Roman ones and those typical of French painting, with a unique depth and vividness, giving the space suggestive and refined effects. Tavella died in Genoa on December 2, 1738 and was buried in the church of St. Dominic. Biographer Carlo Giuseppe Ratti recalls his daughters Angiola and Teresa, who followed in their father's footsteps and became accomplished painters, as well as the best pupil in his workshop, Niccolò Micone, who became known by the nickname "Lo Zoppo."
