About the Item

Portrait of an Eritrean Sibyl who writes the prophecy Circle of Lorenzo Pasinelli (Bologna 1629 - 1700) - Attributable to Giampietro Cavazzoni Zanotti (Paris, 1674 - Bologna, 1765) Oil painting on canvas Dimensions: 64 x 50 cm., Framed 76 x 63 cm. This pleasant painting immortalizes a young Sibyl, presented intent on drawing up her own response, with her gaze turned upwards, to evoke the moment in which she will receive divine revelations. The sibyls according to Greek and Roman mythology were in fact virgins endowed with prophetic virtues inspired by a god, usually Apollo, able to provide responses and make predictions. From a monochrome background, presumably illuminated by the light of a candle, the complexion of the girl stands out, dressed in a simple way, with her face framed by the classic turban veil, a typical attribute of these prophetic figures. Of the mythical seers of antiquity it has the adolescent grace, traditionally referred to them by Bolognese painting, to which the painting belongs for full evidence of style, as if the author intended to rethink the entire iconographic structure of a pictorial subject that in Bologna is he had come coding on the basis of the celebrated models created by the school leader Guido Reni. Going into the details of the stylistic features, the peculiarities of the Bolognese school are highlighted; the canvas reveals strong stylistic and compositional affinities with the creations coming from Lorenzo Pasinelli's workshop, so much so that the execution can be traced back to a painter from his close circle. Al Pasinelli, who taught a group of valid students throughout his very long artistic activity, in fact refers to the typology of the faces. The painting, as suggested by an inscription on the back of the frame, could in particular be a valuable addition to the catalog of Giampietro Zanotti Cavazzoni, protagonist of the Bolognese artistic culture of the eighteenth century, a pupil in the workshop of Lorenzo Pasinelli, whose influence marked his entire production. The painting is in good condition, with a beautiful gilded wooden frame. We take care and organize 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...
