Viviano Codazzi and Domenico Gargiulo
Italian Baroque religious figurative painting of the 17th century oil on canvas

1640-1645

About the Item

Painted with gilt wood frame, 58 x 75 cm. is the work of the painter couple Viviano Codazzi (Valsassina 1603-Rome 1670), who specialized as a quadraturist and landscape painter, and Domenico Gargiulo known as Micco Spadaro (Naples 1609-1675), who specialized in figurative painting. The subject depicts the episode of the paralytic healed by Christ, which in John's Gospel (Jn. 5:1-18) is set near the Pool of Bethesda known as the Pool Probatica. Although it is a small canvas, its high quality of execution and attention to the rendering of some details (note the clothes resting on the left, the headdresses, the presence of a dog) highlight its character as an accomplished work intended for the market, probably one of the earliest Probatic pools of private commission by Viviano Codazzi, after he had completed the one on the monumental counter façade in the Church of SS. Apostles in Naples, together with Giovanni Lanfranco, in 1638. The work is therefore datable, including stylistic comparisons, to 1640-1645

    By Girolamo Negri called Il Boccia
    Located in Florence, IT
    Oil on canvas, 62 x 51 cm (without the frame) Even if on the background there is an attribution to “Francesco Gessi pupil of Guido Reni” by the bolognese art historian Guido Zucchini (dated 1945), recent studies are tending to add it to the corpus of Girolamo Negri called Il Boccia (Bologna 1648-1718) due to lots of similarities with his style (the pale and warm palette chosen, the profile) The painting represents a lady on profile wearing a brown turban, a yellow clock...

  • Roman Baroque Painting 17 century oil canvas
    Located in Florence, IT
    The painting represents the moment of the death of Lucretia, a Roman noblewoman who was raped by the seventh and last King of Rome-the Etruscan Tarquin the Proud-and committed suicide-in front of her husband and her father-because she couldn’t stand the violence she passed through. According to the legend, this episode caused the rebellion that overthrew the Roman monarchy and led to the transition of Roman government from a kingdom to a republic. The scene is entirely dominated by the figure of the lady, emerging from a dark background in contrast with the brightness of her skin and of the colors of her dress. The torments and agony are intensively expressed by her glance, capable of creating a strong empathizing. The shiny white skin and the pearls (symbol of virginity) in her hair are an allegory of her purity, while the red tablecloth seems predicting the violent end. The painting is characterized by lots of exquisite details (like the richly decorated knob of the knife, the ribbon that tie up the purple curtains...
