About the Item

Painting Oil on canvas measuring 72 x 92 cm and 98 x 114 cm with a wonderful contemporary frame depicting an outdoor inn scene by the painter Giacomo Francesco Cipper known as Todeschini ( Feldkirch 1644 - Milan 1736 ). This painting, in a good state of preservation, depicts a genre scene populated by nine characters: four young men at a table, a bagpiper in the back, two characters fighting with an elderly inn-keeper who tries to split them up with a broom and another character in the bottom left looking for something. Probably given its size, this painting usually possessed allegorical meanings and decorated the elegant study of some scholar devoted to philosophical meditations and pervaded by a love of poetry, art and nature. We find ourselves before a canvas that shows a modern, essential and well-organized scenic arrangement, characteristic of the best European painting tradition. It will be useful to recall that the purpose of these compositions in the Flemish tradition was to habitually call to mind one or more cues derived from moralizing proverbs and mottos. Adherence to this original artistic vocabulary, vivid and of great immediacy, allowed Cipper to obtain important pictorial commissions for the Italian and Milanese nobility: a rich production of genre paintings in which the master manifests clear links with northern European realism and Italian naturalism. It was this peculiar artistic sensibility that allowed Todeschini to develop a personal style particularly suited to the production of paintings similar to this one, which, in the distinct characterisation of the characters portrayed, is perfectly emancipated from the results achieved by Cerruti, known as pitocchetto, and Antonio Cifrondi. The painting is a document that exhibits a luministic impetus and passages of brilliant skill; this happens because undoubtedly the best part of our painter's activity is that which concerns painting, which he carried forward with constant commitment, achieving a peculiarity of manner that marks a significant phase in the development of the genre, with lucid anticipation of the executive finesse of the neoclassics, also due to a breadth of impasto and a perspicuity of definition that are all typical prerogatives of great Italian painting and of Cipper himself. The paintings and works of art published here are my exclusive property and therefore are always available to be viewed, by appointment, in my exhibition sites located in Sanremo and Brescia.

"Flemish genre tavern scene"
Located in Edinburgh, GB
Unidentified Artist 17th-Century Tavern Scene Oil on canvas Framed: 113 x 103 cm Canvas: 96 x 91 cm This 17th-century oil painting captures a lively tavern scene, a popular subject in Dutch and Flemish genre painting of the Golden Age. The composition is rich in character and storytelling, depicting a group of men engaged in a card game, with coins, letters, and drinks scattered across the table. A standing woman, possibly a barmaid or concerned onlooker, leans in, while a man enters from the left, holding his hat and appearing amused by the game. In the foreground, a small child tends to a jug and tankard, adding a touch of humor and domestic realism. Executed in oil on canvas, the painting showcases earthy, warm tones and rich chiaroscuro, emphasizing the candlelit glow of the scene. The artist masterfully captures the textures of fabrics, wood, and metal, giving depth and dimension to the environment. The expressive faces and animated gestures highlight the social interactions typical of Dutch and Flemish tavern paintings...
