About the Item

Lodovico Buffetti (Verona, 1722 - 1782) "Story of Rebecca" Oil on Canvas Framed: 89 x 71 cm Flat: 74 x 56 cm No signatured This exquisite 18th-century oil painting by Lodovico Buffetti, a distinguished artist from Verona, depicts the biblical story of Rebecca, a revered figure in the Old Testament. Rich in Baroque dynamism and Rococo elegance, Buffetti masterfully composes a scene of dramatic interaction and emotional depth, capturing the moment when Rebecca offers water to the servant of Isaac—an event symbolizing divine guidance and predestined love. Buffetti’s refined brushwork and vibrant color palette bring a theatrical quality to the composition, where light and movement direct the viewer’s gaze across the expressive faces and gestures of the figures. The interplay of rich drapery, architectural elements, and pastoral scenery enhances the depth and grandeur of the narrative. Encased in an elegant period-style gilded frame, this painting embodies the sophisticated artistry of 18th-century Italian religious and historical painting. A remarkable addition for collectors of Baroque and Rococo art, this piece not only reflects the devotional storytelling of its era but also serves as a statement work of refined aesthetic and cultural significance.

Located in Milano, Lombardia
Matteo Bonechi (Florence, Italy, 1669 - Florence, Italy, 1756) Title: Presentation of Jesus Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: without frame 75 x 49 cm – with frame 89.5 x 65 cm Shaped, carved and gilded wooden box frame Expertise by Sandro Bellesi, Professor and art historian Fairs: The International Biennial of Antiques in Florence 2022 (BIAF, Biennale Internazionale dell’Antiquariato di Firenze) Publications: Bozzetti, modelletti, sketches: dalla collezione di Giorgio Baratti (From the Giorgio Baratti Collection) curated by Anna Orlando, Agnese Marengo and Annalisa Scarpa, Genova, 2022, pp. 20, 21. The present painting is a very interesting testimony of the creative process of Matteo Bonechi, one of the leading artists on the Tuscan art scene in the early 18th century. The canvas in question is in fact the last preparatory model made by Bonechi before he executed an altarpiece for the church of San Filippo Neri in Cortona in 1716. The scene presented here is that of the Presentation of Jesus, when, forty days after his birth, the child is ransomed through an offering in the temple and placed in the hands of Simeon, who prophesies his future: the coming of the Messiah...
