About the Item

Carlo Maratta ( Camerano 1625- Rome 1713 ) Jupiter transformed into a satyr Oil painting on copper, depicting Jupiter transformed into a Satyr, attributed to Carlo Maratta (Camerano, May 15, 1625 - Rome, December 15, 1713), with expertise by Dr. Stella Rudolph. The work depicting Jupiter transformed into a Satyr, who discovers Antiope sleeping in a landscape with four cupids, comes directly from the vast collection of the Royal House of Hanover, precisely from the Marienburgh Castle, there it was inventoried in 1857 as signed and dated "Cav. Maratti Rom. A ° 1710 "and included in the printed fidecommissario catalog drawn up by O. Eisenmann in 1891 (n ° 294, p.142) with the date almost illegible, on the back the painting also has inventory numbers that refer to the catalog of 1891, to that of 1905 (n ° 225) and others (n ° 921 reported in pencil; n ° 20; n ° 198 HG). As a hypothesis, the copper may have already been acquired by Ferdinand Albrecht II, Prince of Brunswick, even if the neoclassical frame with a carved and gilded case perhaps indicates that it rather entered the gallery during the reign of Ernest Augustus, King of Hanover. Even without the benefit of the signature, now almost indecipherable, it was easy to see that the painting was by the hand of Maratti, one of the last few fully autographed works of the elderly master, who had been the head of Roman painting, as well as one of the most famous artists in Europe. Therefore it is an essay of considerable interest, typical of the Arcadian taste that was articulated since the 1680s; in a series of exquisite mythological fables set in lush landscapes, renewing the prototypes of Annibale Carracci and especially Francesco Albani, with a grace now in line with the nascent Rococò style. He was a central figure of Roman and Italian painting of the second half of the 17th century; during his life he was celebrated as the greatest painter of his time, also influencing a large part of the artistic production of the following century. Roman painting between the 17th and 18th centuries was dominated by the contrast between classicism and baroque; Maratta succeeded in the difficult task of reconciling the two opposing tendencies, starting from Raphael's classicism and welcoming a baroque without rhetorical excesses. "I am happy that this painting has re-emerged just in time to include it in the monograph on Maratti that I have in preparation (I had listed it among the lost works!)", With these words concludes the writing Stella Rudolph, in June 2006, confirming the autograph of the painting.
