Gallant party in the park. French School. Mid-18th century
Located in Milan, IT
The scene depicts a feast within a park enclosed by walls with arched gateways opening onto the countryside, and adorned on the right with an amphora on a small column and in the center, behind the figures, with a gushing fountain, with statues of cherubs and shells.
Two couples of richly dressed ladies and gentlemen entertain themselves gallantly, surrounded by servants; one of the men is playing the violin, crouching in front of his lady, who, flanked by the damsel, follows the melody on the score held up by the dark-haired man at her side, while two musicians accompany the playing with flute and a mandolin; the other couple, in an attitude of intimate dialogue, listens on the left, while on the right the hunter returning from the hunt also observes the scene.
Particularly prominent in the scene is the rich dress of the lady in the center, characterized by the wide back folds falling from her shoulders to create a cape. Such a dress corresponds to what was called "robe à la Watteau," named after the French painter Antoine Watteau who first portrayed ladies wearing this pattern.
Antoine Watteau (1684 -1721), a French painter considered one of the most influential French exponents of Rococo painting, was the forerunner of the pictorial genre of gallant scenes, a genre that developed in France from the late 1600s and continued throughout the following century.
The gallant scenes could be considered as the aristocratic version of the genre scene: characterized by music, dances, pleasant conversations between ladies and gentlemen surrounded by servants, they tended to enhance the costumes, fashionable clothes, and environments of the upper class, conveying a kind of detachment from the real times and places, projecting the viewer into an almost theatrical atmosphere of gestures, looks, colors and stage lights.
Moreover, Watteau, along with the Fêtes galantes cycles, also distinguished himself for those inspired by the theater, absorbing his passion for the scenes and characters of that milieu from Claude Gillot...

St. Michael expelling the Rebel Angels
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This representation of Saint Michael fighting Satan shows a dynamic composition enriched by the special use of color together with an intense chiaroscuro that serves to give the work a special atmosphere. Areas of intense color are created together with darkness, light and reflections that highlight poses, bodies, as well as flying forms or intense glows.
On the central axis that organizes the composition, the triumphant figure of the archangel about to beat a figure, incarnation of evil, stands out. Represented using a sotto in su view, that is, from the bottom up, Miguel's triumphant pose stands out while leaving no doubts about the defeated attitude of the demonic being who appears naked lying on the ground.
The formula makes possible to clearly highlight the outcome of the fight, his triumphant figure unfolds occupying a large part of the work, showing a clear attitude of combat, endorsed with the sword that he brandishes in his right, and the shield and armor that cover him. His person is further energized with the great cape that flies, highlighting the pose of his body arched and thrown forward to attack the representatives of Evil.
The work, with its color, its chiaroscuro, and its dynamism, is an interesting sample of the neo-Baroque expressions of the 18th Century, the period in which Jacopo Cestaro...
