Giovanni Ghisolfi
(Milan 1623 - 1683)
Architectural capriccio with ruins of an Ionic temple
Oil painting on canvas
73 x 87 cm.,
within a gilded wooden frame 87 x 100 cm.
This qualitative view with whim against the background of a marina (oil on canvas, 73 x 87 cm.) Is a significant new testimony by the Milanese Giovanni Ghisolfi (Milan 1623 - 1683). In particular, the work is perfectly ascribed to its more mature phase, characterized by inventiveness and exhibition taste. Ghisolfi was a forerunner with respect to many artists of the following century who certainly drew fruitful ideas from this last phase of the Milanese master by birth but Roman by adoption.
Ghisolfi, in fact, in the papal city matured his decisive training in these particular iconographies, centered on the ancient Roman remains, and thanks to which he became the most successful specialist in this vein. The artist is in fact considered by critics to be the forerunner of the "architectural whim" typology, which only in the eighteenth century will achieve extraordinary illustrative success and consecrate it as an independent pictorial genre. His work was therefore the basis of the training of many authors, among all Giovanni Paolo Panini, who will paraphrase several of his works, tracing their compositional schemes and taking up their strong contrasts, shadows and dark palette.
Typical of his style, and which we find very well on our canvas, is the technique with which he constructs the perspective sequences, treating the background with a dark silver color, while the architectural passages are outlined by accurate and precise brushstrokes, strong contrasts and touches of black. in the plastic details. A curious blend of northern Italian and Capitoline tastes takes place in him, a mixture that makes Giovanni Ghisolfi a modern author in the best Baroque sense.
At the same time, an intimate classicist vein emerges from the canvas, marked by elegant compositional balances. The influence of Salvator Rosa, as regards the execution of the figures inserted, is very marked, and would seem to support the hypothesis, however never confirmed on the documentary level, of their collaboration.
The work serves as a theater for the episode of the parable of the 'Tribute of the coin', the closing moment of an episode taken from the Gospel of Matthew (17, 24-27), when Christ in the company of the apostles orders Peter to fish in the Sea of Galilee and to pay taxes to the tax collectors for the Temple with the silver coin that he would find inside the fish.
By way of example, compare, both for the compositional characters and for the subject depicted, one of the two paintings appeared by Bonhams of London (Old Master Paintings, 9 Dec 2009 lot 79:

Knight Van Douw Paint Oil on canvas Old master 17/18th Century Flemish Art Italy
By Simon Johannes van Douw (Antwerp c. 1630 - c. 1677)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
After Simon Johannes van Douw (Antwerp c. 1630 - c. 1677)
The stop of a traveler on horseback near a post station
Oil painting on canvas
45 x 55 cm
In frame cm. 55 x 65
In this pleasant painting, depicting a knight parked near a post station, the Flemish tradition is based on a strong Italianizing sensitivity, especially by observing the setting and its peculiar brightness.
The mixture of genres and the particular style of execution make it easy to trace the authorship back to a Nordic author but active in Rome, or strongly influenced by the style in vogue in the Eternal city, between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: we are referring, in in particular, to a follower of the Antwerp Simon Johannes van Douw.
The chromatic elegance and refinement with which he outlines the figures are typical aspects of his painting.
The scene takes place outside a cottage, probably a post office for travelers, where a modest family divides the tasks by assisting the knights. We see a young boy who hands water to the horse before he sets off again, the father is preparing to feed him with straw and the mother who instead takes care of the little son.
The Italian reminiscences, evident in our painting, have been absorbed by many Northern European authors such as Nicolaes Berchem, Philips Wouwerman or Johannes Lingelbach, all inspired by the leader Pieter van Laer...
