About the Item

Gaspare Diziani (Belluno 1689 - Venice 1767) Portrait of a Young Princess (Salome?) Oil on canvas 42 x 33 cm Framed 70 x 63 cm A charming portrait of a beautiful young woman with an absorbed gaze, sumptuously attired in a dress of exquisite fabrics, precious jewellery, and with her hair loose, partially covered by a red veil stopped by a golden tiara. This is the protagonist of our beautiful canvas who, given the characters just listed, would lead us to think of the portrait of a princess, presumably Salome, but also Catherine of Alexandria, a favourite subject in ancient art, or Cleopatra because of the pearls embellishing her face, although these are only hypotheses given the absence of attributes that would unequivocally identify her. Of beautiful quality and preservation, the canvas shows features that indicate the Venetian genesis of the execution, due to the chromatic exuberance and vividness of the drafting; in particular, we are inclined to attribute its execution to Gaspare Diziani (1689-1767), a refined painter and protagonist of the 18th century Venetian artistic scene. We see his typical use of colour, with a palette of warm, vibrant tones, and soft chiaroscuro, with light effectively distributed to create a beautiful sense of depth and volume. The details in the clothing, facial features and objects accompanying the figure are also very precise, demonstrating the artist's technical skill. Arriving in Venice from Belluno around 1710, Diziani was a pupil first of Gregorio Lazzarini, the last provincial interpreter of Baroque tenebrism, and then of Sebastiano Ricci, whose teaching was decisive in the formation of a painting rich in matter, chromatic accentuation and strong, nervous brushstrokes. Initially dedicated to theatre sets, during the second decade his activity moved to Dresden, to the court of Augustus III of Saxony and to Munich. In 1720 his presence in Venice is again documented, but we also know him to be present in several cities in the Veneto region, painting works of artistic value, especially in Belluno and Padua. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work sold is completed by an attractive gilded wooden frame and comes with a certificate of authenticity and guarantee. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.

Portrait Lady Woman Voet Paint Oil on canvas Old master 17th Century Italian Art
By Jacob Ferdinand Voet (Antwerp 1639 - Paris 1689)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Jacob Ferdinand Voet (Antwerp 1639 - Paris 1689) Atelier Portrait of the Young Ortensia Mancini, Duchess of La Meilleraye (Rome 1646 - Chelsea 1699) Oil on canvas 75 x 61 cm. - exquisite gilded and lacquered wooden double frame 105 x 91 cm. The beautiful painting depicting the young and attractive Duchess Ortensia Mancini is part of the refined portraiture of Jacob Ferdinand Voet (Antwerp 1639 - Paris 1689). Of Flemish origin, the painter achieved great success with the aristocratic families of Rome - where he stayed from 1663 to 1679 - thanks to the famous series of portraits commissioned by Cardinal Flavio Chigi, depicting the most enchanting women of the time, and now housed in the Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia. The paintings became so popular that the artist was repeatedly asked to reproduce replicas and similar versions of them: the 'cabinet des dames' was thus one of the Roman fashions of the 17th century, justifying the large number of female portraits attributable to his workshop that gravitated on the market. Voet flaunted in his portraits a peculiar softness and grace in the rendering of the complexions, a subtle voluptuousness in the description of the lips, entrusted to small brushstrokes of red, a sense of calm fixity in the pose, all characteristics that are immediately reflected in the work under examination. Our young effigy, Hortense Mancini...
