Follower of Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi)The Tooth-Puller (Il Cavadenti) - Oil on Canvas by Follower of CaravaggioLate 17th Century
Late 17th Century
About the Item
The Tooth-Puller is a superb original oil painting on canvas, realized by an anonymous artist, a follower of Caravaggio, in the first half of the XVII century.
Our specimen is a reproduction of Caravaggio's original oil on canvas Il cavadenti, today preserved at the Palatine Gallery at the Pitti Palace, in Florence.
Our work is not the only known copy from the original Caravaggio: in 2000, Christie's examined another one.
The cavadenti is a precious specimen for the low number of known copies and because it is now the subject of controversies and investigations by scholars. Studying the original Caravaggio one can formulate two hypotheses. This copy may have been made around 1620, when Caravaggio's painting would have transited from Malta to Florence, or around 1649, when the Duke of Mantova Francesco I d'Este requested a copy.
It is still difficult to identify the author of our replica, among the Sicilian painters emulators of the Lombard master (Alonso Rodriguez, Mario Minniti, Carlo Selllito, Pietro D'Asaro) and among the copyists active in Florence such as Alessandro Frigoni known as Bazzicaluva.
In excellent conditions, including a golden painted wooden frame.
A really unusual painting to show in your private collection realized with a superb technique, a piece of art history to keep jealously!

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.
The present work depicts three angels...
