About the Item
Polidoro de' Renzi, called Polidoro da Lanciano (Lanciano, c. 1515 - Venice, 1565)
Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine
Oil on panel, 47.5 x 34.5 cm
Framed, 71 x 58 cm
The painting, depicting the Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine, is to be likened to the production of the Titian-trained Venetian painter Polidoro de' Renzi, known as Polidoro da Lanciano.
A comparison with prototypes by Francesco Vecellio suggests a period of work, perhaps as a garzonato, at the workshop of the celebrated painters originally from Pieve di Cadore, although there is no definite information on the young Polidoro's artistic education and early cultural references. The only certain record is from 1536, when his name is recorded in the Fraglia of Venetian Painters, the city where he moved. In the lagoon, the artist frequented the circle of Titian Vecellio, but his presence in the workshop of the Cadorian is not historically confirmed, where his art appears to have been influenced by Paris Bordon and Bonifacio de' Pitati. His style manifests clear suggestions of Veronese classicism, from which he draws iconographic modules and a renewed chromatic modernity, as suggested by the cloud-veiled landscape and the shrub behind Mary that ideally guides the viewer's eye beyond the edge of the canvas itself. The prevalence of color over drawing, of tones over shapes, the precious and iridescent colors of the robes, and the soft but full-bodied draperies at the same time embody the artist's Venetian culture.
In particular, the types of the Child Jesus and the Virgin, as well as the general setting of the scene, are typical of the work of Polidoro da Lanciano and the models he took from Titian's production, with the majestic figures in the foreground. Equally typical are the poses of the characters and the types of their candid faces.
His production is more directed toward creating 'quadri di devotione,' Sacre Conversazioni with a narrative character, following proven iconographic formulas, almost always used for private devotion. Cite, for example, works such as the Marriage of St. Catherine from Ca Rezzonico where there is the same diagonal construction of the scene and the Holy Family from the Carrara Academy.

Dancing putti
Oil on canvas, 122.5 x 131 cm
The canvas presented here, referable to the 19th century, constituted an exquisite example of a painting made to decorate a boiserie, as evidenced by the particularity of the format and the ornamental subject matter.
The theme of dancing putti takes up a widely used and experimented model around the 1620s, on which the greatest artists tried their hand: pordenone, author of the Dance of Putti now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, for example, was able to make use of multiple visual models to fine-tune this complex and original composition, such as having known Marcantonio Raimondi's famous engraving with a gyre of cupids, derived from an invention of Raphael himself and dated between 1517 and 1520. Over the following centuries, the fame of this prissy subject was never diminished.
In fact, the work under consideration can be attributed to the hand of 18th-century artist Angelo Monticelli, who specialized in tempera drawing and was a pupil of painter Andrea Appiani (1754-1817), active mainly in Lombardy, where, for the Teatro alla Scala he designed the figures of the box parapets (1807) and the curtain (1821). In 1826, during the repainting of Ferrara's Municipal Theater, Monticelli decorated the plafond with an Apotheosis of Lodovico Ariosto. The curtain of the Rossini Theater in Pesaro is also by his hand. For the Duke of Lodi Francesco Melzi...
