About the Item

Jacob Fabris (Venice, 1689 - 1761) Architectural Capriccio with ancient classical ruins Oil on canvas cm. 56 x 112 with frame cm. 77 x 130 Expertise of Prof. Emilio Negro (Bologna) FULL DETAILS CLICK HERE This well-preserved work, whose pendant is available (link), depicts a wide view with ruins of Roman antiquities assembled in such a way as to create an imaginative scenario, where there are more or less ruined buildings of various kinds such as arches and amphitheatres, colonnades, altars, statues, reliefs, and fragments of cornices. The blue sky enlivened by clouds and the presence of foliage and plant elements well inserted among the archaeological remains add great charm to the views, illuminated by a golden light and enlivened by the presence of various picturesque characters arranged in small groups, which give rhythm to the composition by introducing a narrative element. This is a highly collectible work, executed around the middle of the 18th century by the Venetian-born painter Jacopo Fabris (Venice, 1689 - Charlottenborg, 1761), reflecting both in terms of style and compositional choices his grandiose views of Rome, commissioned during his career by patrician nobles from the major European courts. The attribution is confirmed by the technical characteristics, such as the luminous quality of the colour and the vibrant rendering of the human figures, elements that easily juxtapose this canvas with the series of Roman vedute happily grouped in the painter's catalogue. Fabris' pictorial production is closely linked to his activity as a set designer and theatre painter, producing numerous perspective views mostly inspired by characteristic Roman or Venetian views, almost always complemented by fantastic inserts. His views were collected by the European aristocracy during the ritual Grand Tour in Italy, appreciated and requested by wealthy foreign tourists who yearned to possess on their return home, in addition to the more canonical perspective views, this kind of fantasy architectural scenery as a luxurious souvenir. Fabris specialised in painting architectural views first in his native Venice, which he left around 1720 to go to Rome, where he came into contact with Canaletto, who had also arrived in the papal city. Much of his career, however, took place abroad: in Germany, as court painter in Karlsruhe (1719-21) in Hamburg (1724-8), and at the Berlin Opera in the service of Frederick II the Great, and then in Denmark, where he arrived in 1746 at the court of King Frederick IV. Very active between Copenhagen and Charlottenborg, it is in this latter period that most of Jacopo Fabris' known perspective inventions are to be found, and it is precisely in this phase of his life that we can probably place the realisation of our canvas. It is easy to compare it with the decoration that the Venetian painted in 1750 in the old dining room overlooking the garden of Fredensborg Castle, consisting of ten large paintings and three smaller door panels, all depicting similar partially fantastic views with ruins and lively figures. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The painting is completed by an attractive gilded wooden frame and is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card.

Announcement Waben Signed Dated 1620 17th Century Oil on table Flemish Paint

Located in Riva del Garda, IT

Jacques Waben (Alkmaar ca. 1575-1641/1642 Hoorn) Signed in the bottom centre and dated ‘J. Waben f./1620’. The Announcement to the Shepherds Oil on oak panel 103 x 63 cm in frame 107 x 67 Provenance: Vienna Palais Dorotheum Old master painting 10.12.2015 (lot 143) This is a spectacular depiction of the theme of the annunciation to the shepherds, set in a nocturnal atmosphere dense with photos but refined, the episode of the birth of Jesus reported in the Gospel according to Luke (Lu 2:8-15), in which an angel announces the birth of Christ to a group of shepherds. We see the scene just as described in the Gospel passage that sets the event at night where the shepherds, intent on watching over their flock, were startled by the sudden appearance of an angel of astonishing beauty who we see here radiating a powerful golden light, while at his side a multitude of other angels from the heavenly army sing praises to God. After exhorting them not to be afraid, he informed them that a saviour, the Messiah, had been born in Bethlehem, whom they would find wrapped in swaddling clothes in a manger, cared for by the Virgin and St Joseph. The annunciation to the shepherds was the most depicted night scene in Flemish painting from the 15th century...

A Calm with a Man of War firing a Saluteo

By Peter Monamy

Located in Stoke, Hampshire

Peter Monamy (London 1681-1749) A Calm with a Man of War firing a Salute Oil on canvas Canvas Size 14 1/4 x 17 1/4 in Framed Size 20 x 24 in Peter Monamy was an acclaimed British marine painter of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, renowned for his evocative depictions of seascapes and naval scenes. Born in 1681 on Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands, Monamy displayed an early affinity for art, which was shaped by the maritime culture of his homeland. His works vividly capture the drama and grandeur of the sea, marking him as one of the prominent marine artists of his time. At a young age, Monamy moved to London, where he likely apprenticed with a sign painter. His artistic skills flourished during this period, influenced by Dutch marine painters such as Willem van de Velde the Younger...
