About the Item

Guillaume Courtois known as 'il Borgognone' (Saint Hippolyte 1626 - Rome 1679) The Resting of Diana Oil on canvas (97 x 70 cm. - Framed cm. 121 x 95) The proposed painting, of exquisite quality and artistic level, is a work executed in the second half of the 17th century by an artist from the Roman area. The episode illustrates the repose of the hunting goddess Diana, depicted asleep lying in the shade of a tree, half-naked with only a veil covering her pubis and lying on a blue sheet, after a hunt, with her spear still in her hands and her quiver lying in front of her. The goddess, ready to enjoy the pleasures of a relaxing sleep, is surrounded and protected by a host of fluttering cupids, some are playing with one of her hounds, some are amusing themselves by riding a branch, while others are intent on holding a red drape, as if to protect her intimacy from possible prying eyes. An analysis of the stylistic and figurative characteristics, as mentioned above, shows that it belongs to the Roman school of the mid 17th century, capable of expressing a refined style, and succeeding in blending the Baroque language, by definition sumptuous, with elements of classicist ancestry. It is therefore a painting of immediate beauty, capable of combining remarkable pictorial finesse with a scenic construction capable of satisfying even the most demanding gaze. In particular, the work shows clear reminiscences with the Cortonese sphere, specifically with the figure of Guillaume Courtois known as 'il Borgognone' (Saint Hippolyte 1626 - Rome 1679). In his painting, and thus also in the proposed work, a classicist figurative culture emerges with influences from typically Baroque legacies, from which his training in the workshop of Pietro da Cortona is evident. The painting, which is in a good state of conservation, shows a slight patina of time that we decided not to clean, as the work remains perfectly legible. It presents a professionally executed rintelo, and is complete with a pleasant period carved wooden frame. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The painting is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic document. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers.

Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788), circle of Landscape with river and resting shepherds First half of the 18th century   oil painting on canvas cm. 60 x 93, within a carved and gilded wooden frame cm. 75 x 108 This delightful landscape view animated by a family of shepherds who rest from their daily duties should be compared to the hand of Francesco Zuccarelli (Pitigliano 1702 - Florence 1788); In the landscapes painted by Zuccarelli the world is crystallized, frozen in a moment of idyllic quiet, where the 'Arcadian' sense of the landscape is rendered with that pictorial vivacity, chromatic lightness and compositional grace that we find in its entirety in his painting. By way of comparison we can compare our canvas to other compositions, including: - Landscape with river and resting shepherds, Accademia Carrara, Bergamo - Landscape with bridge and horseman, Accademia Carrara, Bergamo - Landscape with river, village, fisherman and shepherdesses' (Christie's, London May 1960, - Landscape with figures, Accademia Carrara, - Landscape with knight and figures, Accademia Carrara Tuscan by origin, Francesco Zuccarelli trained first in Florence with the landscape architect Paolo Anesi...
