About the Item
Two masterpieces by the Master of the Fertility of the Egg, nearly impossible to find in homogeneous pairs on the private market, both in terms of style and dimensions.
They represent bizarre scenes of deformed men and animals, following the traditions of Northern Europe by Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Brueghel the Old and especially that of the "bambocceschi lombardi" .
The Inappetent Owl is a variation, with significant different elements, of that of the same title preserved at the Musée Fesch in Ajaccio (Corse).
The other painting, depicting an owl, a swan, a lobster among other animals and deformed man, in our knowledge is unpublished and was made simultaneously with the other, given its thematic and stylistic homogeneity and its identical measures.
Both the paintings are in very good conditions and come with ancient frames, as photos can show.
The are accompanied by an expertise by Dott. Patrizio Basso Bondini.
The Maestro della Fertilità dell'Uovo (Master of the Fertility of the Egg) is the name give to a yet unidentified painter active in Lombardy and particularly Brescia between the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th Century.
His name is due to a painting part of the Milwaukee Art Museum collection, depicting dwarfs, geese and lobsters hatching eggs.
Both the paintings already have an international export certificate.
