About the Item
Giacomo Ceruti, known as Il Pitocchetto (1698-1767) – “Turnip”
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 204 x 124 cm (unframed)
Provenance: Private collection
This remarkable painting, “Turnip,” is attributed to Giacomo Ceruti, known as Il Pitocchetto, one of the most distinctive painters of 18th-century Lombardy, celebrated for his realistic depictions of humble subjects and everyday life. His work aligns with the Pittura di Pitocchi, a style that focused on the poor and working-class figures, elevating their presence with a dignity and depth rarely seen in Baroque and Rococo art.
In this composition, Ceruti captures a lively marketplace scene, where a peasant woman weighs turnips while engaged in a dynamic exchange with a young boy and other figures. The earthy tones, soft chiaroscuro, and meticulous detail in textiles, vegetables, and facial expressions highlight Ceruti’s mastery of naturalism. The emotive expressions and animated gestures imbue the work with narrative intrigue, reminiscent of Caravaggio’s influence on genre painting.
Unlike the refined elegance of contemporary Venetian painters, Ceruti’s approach was raw, unembellished, and deeply humanistic, making his works highly sought after by collectors of Old Masters and social realism in art. His paintings reside in prestigious collections, including the Brera Art Gallery in Milan and the Louvre Museum.
This monumental canvas, with its impressive scale and intimate realism, is an exceptional acquisition for collectors interested in 18th-century Italian genre painting and the representation of everyday life in historical art.

17th-Century Tavern Scene
Oil on canvas
Framed: 113 x 103 cm Canvas: 96 x 91 cm
This 17th-century oil painting captures a lively tavern scene, a popular subject in Dutch and Flemish genre painting of the Golden Age. The composition is rich in character and storytelling, depicting a group of men engaged in a card game, with coins, letters, and drinks scattered across the table. A standing woman, possibly a barmaid or concerned onlooker, leans in, while a man enters from the left, holding his hat and appearing amused by the game. In the foreground, a small child tends to a jug and tankard, adding a touch of humor and domestic realism.
Executed in oil on canvas, the painting showcases earthy, warm tones and rich chiaroscuro, emphasizing the candlelit glow of the scene. The artist masterfully captures the textures of fabrics, wood, and metal, giving depth and dimension to the environment. The expressive faces and animated gestures highlight the social interactions typical of Dutch and Flemish tavern paintings...
