About the Item
Francis Casanova (London 1732/33- Vorderbruhl, Vienna 1803)
Horsemen's stop
Oil on canvas, 37.5 x 67.5 cm
Framed, 48 x 78 cm
Critical Record Prof. Alberto Crispo
The unpublished painting presented here depicts a horsemen's halt within a mountain landscape. The horseman in the center is controlling the situation, the two in the foreground, lying on the ground, are resting from the exertions of the journey, and the one in the background is intent on tying up baggage, while on the left other figures of soldiers on horseback can be seen in the distance.
The canvas is the work of Francesco Casanova, as revealed by comparisons with other proofs by the artist such as the Knight of the Louvre or the other passed on May 17, 2007 at Finarte in Goito, lot 162, not to mention the other canvas with battle scene that appeared at Sotheby's in London on November 8, 1978, lot 9. In all the compared specimens we find the same liquid rendering of color, partly derived from the study of the Venetians, and the very obvious Nordic taste, echoing the models of Philips Wouwermann and Jan van Huchtenburg.
Francesco Casanova was born in 1732/33 in London, where his parents were acting. He trained in Venice with the Guardi, in Florence with Simonini, and in Paris with Charles Parrocel: shaping his visual imagery, however, were also the Bergognone's Battles, which were particularly popular with patrons in that turn of the year. Having reached full artistic maturity, Casanova was active between Dresden and Paris, where he garnered particularly positive opinions with respect to his work even from the creator of the mammoth Encyclopedie project, Diderot. While in Paris, Casanova painted two of his most famous works, the Battles of Fribourg and Lens for the Bourbon palace of the Prince of Condé (now in the Louvre). Later it appears that the artist returned to Dresden, but, from the end of 1783, he moved to Vienna, along with his better-known brother James, and lived here until his death that occurred in nearby Vorderbruhl in 1803. During his Viennese residency the painter also worked for Tsarina Catherine II of Russia, executing canvases depicting episodes from the Russo-Turkish wars (1769-74 and 1787-92). Francis Casanova had a large school and among his pupils should be mentioned at least the battalionists Jacques-Philippe de Loutherbourgh the younger, Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine, Ignace Duvivier and Jean-Baptiste Le Paon.

Angelo Monticelli (Milan, 1778-1837), attr.
Dancing putti
Oil on canvas, 122.5 x 131 cm
The canvas presented here, referable to the 19th century, constituted an exquisite example of a painting made to decorate a boiserie, as evidenced by the particularity of the format and the ornamental subject matter.
The theme of dancing putti takes up a widely used and experimented model around the 1620s, on which the greatest artists tried their hand: pordenone, author of the Dance of Putti now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, for example, was able to make use of multiple visual models to fine-tune this complex and original composition, such as having known Marcantonio Raimondi's famous engraving with a gyre of cupids, derived from an invention of Raphael himself and dated between 1517 and 1520. Over the following centuries, the fame of this prissy subject was never diminished.
In fact, the work under consideration can be attributed to the hand of 18th-century artist Angelo Monticelli, who specialized in tempera drawing and was a pupil of painter Andrea Appiani (1754-1817), active mainly in Lombardy, where, for the Teatro alla Scala he designed the figures of the box parapets (1807) and the curtain (1821). In 1826, during the repainting of Ferrara's Municipal Theater, Monticelli decorated the plafond with an Apotheosis of Lodovico Ariosto. The curtain of the Rossini Theater in Pesaro is also by his hand. For the Duke of Lodi Francesco Melzi...
