About the Item
Joseph Ruoppolo (c. 1630 - 1710)
Still life with copper crockery, cuttlefish and oysters
Oil on canvas, 102 x 152 cm
Frame 122 x 172 cm
The absolute authorship of the present painting, also unsigned, to Giuseppe Ruoppolo, is to be found in the pendant, indeed initialed and now lost. The two canvases were kept until the 1970s within the collection of antiquarian Algranti, then divided through different market events. Both illustrate an ubertous shelf of spectacularly arranged branches, illuminated by elastic rays that swell the bodies of the specimens.
Of Ruoppolo's refined predilection for copper victuals he left written record Bernardo De Dominici, a valuable biographer, testifying that the artist "also painted in imitation of his Uncle Gio. Battista cose di Rame" (Vite de' pittori, scultori, ed architetti napoletani, III, Naples 1743, p. 299). The reference to Ruoppolo's uncle turns out to be fundamental documentary foothold in the reconstruction of Joseph's artistic story. In fact, it is known from the sources only that he died in 1710 at the age of eighty, from which data it is inferred that he was born in 1630, and that the monogram "GRU," by which the monogrammist of the same name was once usually recognized, is actually to refer to Giuseppe himself, who in the painting Interior of a Kitchen with Branches and Provisions (formerly in Naples in the Dalla Vecchia collection), had placed such a signature. The artist conducted his apprenticeship with his uncle of almost the same age (1629-1693), the principal exponent of Neapolitan Baroque naturamorphism, himself a pupil of Paolo Porpora and a contemporary of Salvator Rosa. Unlike his uncle, however, Giuseppe produced works akin to early 17th-century naturamorphism, paying homage to the beginnings of Neapolitan production. The influence of Luca Forte, who had been part of Aniello Falcone's workshop, and whose natures were initially imprinted with a revivalist Caravaggism, remained decisive in the artist.
Ruoppolo's production of still lifes ranged from gargantuan assemblages of first fruits to minute handfuls of the most immediate of the earth, such as zucchini, tomatoes and flowers. A Nature with a Vase of Flowers, now in a private collection, is signed "Giuseppe Rop" on the vase; but there is no shortage of more extensive signatures, for example in a second Still Life with Melons and Apricots in a private collection, in which the artist's name appears on a beveled stone in the right corner of the painting.
The present renews the composedly crowded compositions equal to the Fruit and Flower Vase in a Landscape from the Museum of Nevers, signed, as well as the Grapes, Peaches, Melon, Figs, Plums and Flowers from the Museum of Nantes, also signed. Oysters and seafood had already appeared in Still Life with Red Crab at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, very close to Elena Recco's manner.
