About the Item

The painting, oil on canvas 95 x 137 unframed, depicts a bacchanal: on the left we see a figure who, from the detail of the paw seems to be a satyr, intent on raising a bowl forerunner of tastevins while in the center a winged putto leans on a golden pitcher engraved with a gathering moment and a bacchante with a crown of leaves plays the cymbal; on the right side a figure from behind, probably another satyr. The somewhat tarnished expressions characterized by brush strokes that blush the cheeks, the loose and uninhibited poses highlight the altered state of drunkenness. For stylistic reasons it can be associated with Veneto Baroque production, particularly related to Giulio Carpioni's milieu, as can be seen from stringent comparisons of even the details, for example, the wreaths of thin blades of grass.

Three Angels
By Domenico Piola the Elder
Located in New York, NY
Provenance: Robert L. and Bertina Suida Manning, New York, until 1996 Private Collection, USA One of the leading artists in Genoa during the second half of the seventeenth century, Domenico Piola came from a successful family of artists, renowned for their many illusionistic ceiling programs throughout Genoese churches and palaces. A prolific draughtsman and painter, Domenico oversaw an extremely productive studio. In addition to his collaborations with numerous other artists, Domenico also provided many designs for book illustrations and prints that circulated throughout Europe, earning him international exposure and high acclaim in his own day. As Dr. Anna Orlando has indicated (written communication), the present work is an early work by Piola, datable from the late 1640s. At this time the young artist came strongly under the influence of Castiglione and Valerio Castello, while admiring the works of Giulio Cesare Procaccini. Piola’s works from this period are exuberant and fluid, and the artist’s love of portraying children is evident from the angels and putti that populate both his altarpieces and more intimate paintings. The present work depicts three angels...
