About the Item

Giulio Carpioni (Venice 1613 - Vicenza 1678) - Madonna and Child with Saints Joseph, Francis, Dominic and Anthony of Padua. 61 x 37.5 cm. Oil painting on canvas, unframed (not signed). - The painting is certainly attributed to the hand of Giulio Carpioni (Venice 1613 - Vicenza 1678) on the basis of stylistic comparisons (see - - Reference bibliography: G. M. Pilo, “Giulio Carpioni, tutta la pittura”, Alfieri Editore, 1961). Condition report: Lined canvas. Good state of conservation of the pictorial surface. Giulio Carpioni (Venice 1613 - Vicenza 1678) was an important master of the Venetian Baroque. Originally from Venice, he trained under the guidance of Padovanino where he learned the importance of the use of color from the study of the great masters of the sixteenth century. He later traveled to Rome, where he learned the lesson of Roman classicism that heavily influenced all his production. He settled in Vicenza, a city populated by a rich and cultured clientele, where he was highly appreciated for his elegant and refined style. Imbued with classicism, his works propose balanced and harmonious compositions, which envelop the figures represented in an enveloping and almost ethereal atmosphere. Carpioni became particularly famous for his mythological representations, depicting bacchanals, games of putti and various allegories, but given his fame he could not fail to receive ecclesiastical commissions for the various churches of Venice and Vicenza. Our arched altarpiece could recall a preparatory sketch for an altarpiece, but given its detail and the lack of a final realization, it is much more likely that it is a work commissioned and intended for private devotion. At the top center we find the Madonna and Child, depicted in a pose unique in the master's production and surrounded by saints Joseph, Francis, Dominic and Anthony of Padua. The profile of St. Joseph mirrors the figure of St. Vitus created for the altarpiece in the church of Ss. Felice and Fortunato in Vicenza, while numerous other iconographic ideas can be traced back to the altarpiece depicting “Madonna and Child with Saints John the Baptist and Anthony of Padua” from the Cathedral of Vicenza and now at the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice (such as the posture of our St. Anthony or the figure of the kneeling St. Joseph offering a flower, identical to the St. Anthony in Venice). - This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity. - Further details on the condition report are available upon request. *Please keep in mind that this work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy from the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.
