Muzzioli Giovanni
Ritratto Bacco Ebbro, Olio Su Tela, XIX secolo

1800s

About the Item

Olio su tela. Firmato in basso a destra. Il dio è raffigurato in piedi a riempire la scena, rivestito solo di un telo che gli cinge i lombi e da foglie d'edera, poste sui fianchi e sulla testa, mentre regge in una mano un calice; lo sguardo è vacuo e stralunato. Alle sue spalle, un putto semisdraiato gioca con dell'edera. All'intorno, nuvole bianche, così come è bianco il terreno d'appoggio, con sprazzi di cielo azzurro e un cespuglio verde a creare gli unici contrasti. Al retro dell'opera è presente etichetta "Mario Galli Collezione d'Arte", con numero di catalogazione 64 e scritta autografa dell'artista. L'opera ben rappresenta la pittura di questo artista modenese d'origine, ma che si formò artisticamente prima a Roma poi a Firenze, ove trascorse gran parte della vita. La sua ricca produzione propose inizialmente soprattutto soggetti storici, ma poi si volse anche al ritratto e infine al paesaggio: la sua unicità si riconosce nella capacità di spaziare dal soggetto storico, spesso collocato in ambientazioni ricavate dall'antica Pompei, al naturalismo di stampo macchiaiolo, del suo secondo periodo, nel quale il Muzzioli ricercava una significativa percezione dell'atmosfera e della luce in soggetti ispirati all'ambiente rurale toscano, spesso collocati nell'antichità. In quest'opera, un ritratto di un personaggio mitologico, traspare fortemente l'intento luministico dell'artista, la ricerca dell'effetto della luce che gioca nei corpi nudi del dio e del putto, a sfumare poi nello sfondo. L'etichetta della Galleria d'arte riconduce al fiorentino Mario Galli (1877 -1946), scultore che fu anche importante collezionista di opere soprattutto di macchiaioli. L'opera presenta un cretto importante ed è stata ritelata. E' presentata in cornice in stile.

  • Guy Pene du Bois WPA American Modernism Realism NYC Scene Oil Lawyers in Court
    By Guy Pène Du Bois
    Located in New York, NY
    Guy Pene du Bois' "Two Figures in Courtroom" is a WPA era American scene oil painting created in a realistic style. Modernism at its best The work is framed by Heydenryk. Pène du Bois descended from French immigrants who settled in Louisiana in 1738 and was raised in a Creole household. He was born in 1884 in Brooklyn, NY and first studied with William Merritt Chase at the New York School of Art and later continued his training with Robert Henri. Pène du Bois was greatly impressed with Henri's credo that "real life" was subject matter for art and throughout his life a realist philosophy informed his art as well as his parallel career, art criticism. In 1905, Pène du Bois made his first visit to Paris where he painted scenes of fashionable people in cafes rendered in the dark tonalities and impasto associated with the Ashcan School. By 1920, he had achieved his mature style, which was characterized by stylized, rounded, almost sculptural figures painted with invisible brushstrokes. The subjects of his paintings were often members of society whom he gently satirized. In 1924, Pène du Bois and his wife, Floy, left for France where they would remain until 1930. Returning to America showcases pictures the artist produced after this very productive period abroad. After five years of living in France, Pène du Bois was able to observe American life with fresh eyes. His work becomes more psychologically intense and less satirical. In Girl at Table a slender, blond is shown gazing at a small statue that she holds at arm's distance. The meaning is elusive, but a powerful sense of longing is evoked. Similarly, paintings such as Dramatic Moment and Jane are taut with unresolved dialogue. Both pictures depict mysterious interiors in which a lone woman anxiously awaits the denouement of a suspenseful scene. Other pictures, for example, Chess Tables, Washington Square and Bar, New Orleans, recall Pene du Bois's Ashcan origins in their depiction of urban entertainment. During this period, landscape becomes an important subject for Pène du Bois. Girl Sketching...
