Due teste di Apostoli

1650

Sebastàn de Llanos Valdès (circa 1605-1677) testa di santo martire Olio su tela, cm 50,5x72,5 Non vi sono dubbi in merito all’autografia del dipinto che spetta a Sebastian de Llanos y Valdes (1616-1677), come testimonia l’ iscrizione frammentaria posta nel margine inferiore destro della composizione. Il pittore spagnolo fu allievo di Herrera il Vecchio (1576-1656), poliedrico artista suo conterraneo, abile oltre che nel dipingere anche nella lavorazione del bronzo e nel campo della medaglistica. Nella famosa bottega dell’ Herrera, cui viene attribuito il ruolo di fondatore della famosa Scuola di Siviglia, gravitarono anche il tredicenne Velasquez, che vi rimase per un intero ano, e Ignacio de Riarte. Nel nostro dipinto raffigurante la testa...

Exhibited: London, Royal Academy, 1800, no. 93 What was happening in British history painting in around 1800? In recent discussions of the emergence of a British School of history painting following the foundation of the Royal Academy in 1768, this is a question which is rarely posed and one which is not easily answered. Examination of surviving Royal Academy exhibition catalogues reveals a profusion of artists’ names and titles, few of which remain immediately recognizable, whilst endeavours to explain the impact of exhibition culture on painting - such as the 2001 Courtauld show Art on the Line - have tended to focus on the first and second generation of Royal Academician, rather than young or aspiring artists in the early nineteenth century. This makes the discovery and identification of the work under discussion of exceptional importance in making sense of currents in English painting around 1800. Executed by Edward Dayes...

The painting by Giovanni Battista Spinelli (1613 - 1647), an Italian painter, depicts Jacob’s dream. Giovanni Battista Spinelli was active during the mid-17th century mainly in Naples. His works can be found in private collections, and some are at the Uffizi and at the National Gallery, London. This painting can be dated around 1655. Spinelli’s canvases might be difficult to date and they are of uneven quality. The painting depicts Jacob in a deep sleep while he is surrounded by dark and threatening clouds, but a ladder of light, where angels are ascending and descending, appears in his dream.
