About the Item
Paolo Monaldi (Rome, 1710 - after 1779), attr.
Genre scene
Oil on canvas, 28 x 38 cm
Framed, 36.5 x 46 cm
The canvas depicts a moment of repose drawn from the rural world: the strings of a lute plucked by an elderly man in the foreground cheer a woman with her child and a passerby with his mule stopped to listen. The subject is typical of Paolo Monaldi, a painter born in Rome in 1710 and a pupil of the vedutista Paolo Anesi; he is considered among the liveliest, wittiest and most appreciated cantors of the Roman countryside in the 18th century, where the anecdotal vein combines with pastoral poetics. In the Roman art scene he asserts himself by figuring 'the simple people of the contado in their rural tranquility' (Busiri Vici 1976, p. 97), according to an illustrative address directly derived from seventeenth-century iconographies of bamboccianti. The painter's Arcadian-pastoral vision, however, breaks away from the concrete and disenchanted view of rural life, giving a sweetened translation of reality, but without ever regressing into the picturesque. The openness to cultural solicitations of a European scope shown by the artist is, however, shaped by the needs of the market, which, in eighteenth-century Rome, saw Grand Tour travelers as its main clientele, interested in local customs. Monaldi stands at a temporal boundary in the production of Souvenir d'Italie, whose next declination will be literary transfiguration or the distorted 19th-century naturalism, devoid of moral or social commitment, made up of tarantellas, serenades and plumed wagons. For these reasons, his art is culturally appreciable, validating the undisputed pictorial quality of the works. He was a painter for various patrician families. He painted some canvases for Palazzo Rospigliosi. Some of his works were requested for the villa in Ariccia and by the Barberini family, for whom he decorated the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. Other works of his can be found in Palazzo Braschi and the Galleria dell'Accademia di San Luca. Some parallels can be made with canvases that have appeared on the antiques market depicting a "genre scene" and "frugal meal" depiction.
