About the Item

Giustino Menescardi (Milan, Italy, c. 1720 - Venice, Italy, after 1779) Title: Ascent of Calvary Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: without frame 47 x 36 cm - with frame 57 x 43 cm Shaped and gilded wooden cassetta frame Publications: Bozzetti, modelletti, sketches: dalla collezione di Giorgio Baratti (From the Giorgio Baratti Collection) curated by Anna Orlando, Agnese Marengo and Annalisa Scarpa, Genova, 2022, pp. 62, 63. This painting is the work of Giustino Menescardi (1720-1779), one of the most talented artists who followed Tiepolo's painting. The scene depicted is that of the ascent to Calvary, the mountain on which Jesus Christ was crucified. In the foreground we can see the figure of Christ, dressed in red and crowned with thorns, falling under the weight of the cross carried on his shoulder. The figure of the henchman on the right of the composition is particularly valuable, revealing the painter's stylistic affiliation with the Venetian artistic milieu, an exquisite genre figure.

Matteo Bonechi (Florence, Italy, 1669 - Florence, Italy, 1756) Title: Presentation of Jesus Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: without frame 75 x 49 cm – with frame 89.5 x 65 cm Shaped, carved and gilded wooden box frame Expertise by Sandro Bellesi, Professor and art historian Fairs: The International Biennial of Antiques in Florence 2022 (BIAF, Biennale Internazionale dell’Antiquariato di Firenze) Publications: Bozzetti, modelletti, sketches: dalla collezione di Giorgio Baratti (From the Giorgio Baratti Collection) curated by Anna Orlando, Agnese Marengo and Annalisa Scarpa, Genova, 2022, pp. 20, 21. The present painting is a very interesting testimony of the creative process of Matteo Bonechi, one of the leading artists on the Tuscan art scene in the early 18th century. The canvas in question is in fact the last preparatory model made by Bonechi before he executed an altarpiece for the church of San Filippo Neri in Cortona in 1716. The scene presented here is that of the Presentation of Jesus, when, forty days after his birth, the child is ransomed through an offering in the temple and placed in the hands of Simeon, who prophesies his future: the coming of the Messiah...
