About the Item
Allegorical Scene - Oil on canvas cm.120x90, Eugenio De Blasi, Italy, 2005.
This is his reinterpretation of a greatest old master painting "Marquise de Seignelay e Two of Her Children "by Pierre Mignard.
Pierre Mignard (1612-95) was president of the Académie, the ruling institution of French classicism, when he painted this. He had spent 21 years in Italy, following the trail blazed by Claude (c1604-82) and Poussin (1594-1665) who set Greek, Roman and biblical scenes in sublimely imposing, expansive landscapes.
French classicism is a dream of the Mediterranean and its history of wars, gods, cities, shepherds - an elevated vocabulary of painting that became codified by the Académie and by painters such as Mignard. While such painting often seems chilly to modern viewers, it was classicism's intellectual conception of art that made France such fertile ground for aesthetic revolution right through to the early 20th century.
Catherine-Thérèse de Matignon (1662-99) had been widowed a year when this was painted. Her husband was Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Seignelay, son of the famous statesman Jean-Baptiste Colbert, and, crucially to the aquatic mythology of this portrait, ministre de la marine - head of the French admiralty. It's impossible to be certain which of the marquise's five sons accompany her, but a good guess is that the boy in armour is her eldest, Marie-Jean-Baptiste (1683-1712), and the Cupid is her infant son Théodore-Alexandre.

- A Pompeian LadyBy John William GodwardLocated in New Orleans, LAJohn William Godward 1861-1922 British A Pompeian Lady Signed and dated "J.W. Godward 1904" (lower right, partially covered by frame) Oil on canvas One of the last and greatest Victorian neoclassical painters, John William Godward is celebrated for his flawlessly executed images of graceful women posed in idealized ancient settings. In this work, entitled A Pompeian Lady, a classical beauty is caught idling in a moment of quiet, solitary reflection. Godward's elegant subjects are depicted with a degree of technical mastery that remains unsurpassed, and the work's dramatic palette, luxurious fabrics and classical vision are all characteristics of his unique take on the neoclassical style. Godward was unmatched in terms of his technical skill and attention to detail. A master of contrasting textures, he paints a diaphanous gown draping against the model’s smooth, milky white skin, which sits against the painstakingly rendered individual hairs of a tiger’s pel. Scintillating color permeates the canvas as well, energizing the otherwise static scene. Each element is given careful attention, and the overall effect is one of both immaculate technique and sensual tactility. Along with his contemporary and mentor, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Godward set the tone for the Victorian neoclassicist movement. He built his career upon creating images of idealized feminine beauty infused with a Greco-Roman-inspired style. Though greatly influenced by Alma-Tadema, Godward distinguished himself through his predilection for the solitary female figure. His fame rose dramatically in the first few years of the 20th century, when the present work was completed, due to the burgeoning strength of the British Empire and the Victorian society’s preoccupation with ancient Rome. To many of the newly affluent, Roman society was, as Iain Gale writes, “a flawless mirror of their own immaculate world.” The sensuality and mystery of Godward’s maidens, combined with his impressive antique backdrops...Category
