About the Item

Jacopo Robusti, known as Jacopo Tintoretto (Venice, 1519 - 1594) Circle/workshop Christ in Jerusalem 16th/17th century Oil on canvas 85 x 104 cm In a fine antique frame (with missing pieces, defects and restorations) 106 x 123 cm. The image captures Christ's solemn and triumphant entry into Jerusalem, a crucial moment narrated in the Gospels and which has inspired numerous works of art, testifying to its importance in Christian tradition, commemorated on Palm Sunday. Christ, serene and majestic, is surrounded by a jubilant crowd that welcomes him with enthusiasm and devotion, spreading cloaks and palm branches on the ground as a sign of homage and acclaiming him as the Messiah with the cry “Hosanna!”. He is depicted riding a humble donkey, a symbol of peace and humility, in contrast to the grandeur of the event. The work plays with bold chiaroscuro, creating depth and emotional intensity, with divine light seeming to descend on Christ and part of the crowd, while the areas of shadow contribute to a sense of pathos and mystery, typical of Venetian Renaissance art, enhanced by the rich and vibrant colour palette. The painting is, in fact, a fine example of Venetian painting, the work of a Venetian painter active between the 16th and 17th centuries, based on the pictorial models of Jacopo Robusti, known as “il Tintoretto” (Venice, 1519 - 1594), one of the most daring and innovative figures of the Venetian Renaissance. In our opinion, the authorship should therefore be sought within his circle or among the large group of pupils who gravitated towards the master's Venetian workshop. His career, which spanned the 16th and 17th centuries, was characterised by a unique approach to painting that helped define Venetian Mannerism, with a unique ability to transform religious themes into compositions of great emotional intensity, which cannot fail to impress the observer. His quick and decisive brushstrokes are one of the most distinctive features of his style, giving his works extraordinary liveliness and dynamism. Finally, his bold use of light and shadow and theatrical perspective demonstrate extreme technical mastery and creative impetus, making his style highly recognisable and an inspiration to many 16th-century painters. Also noteworthy is the technical mastery of our author, with specific details of great emotional impact, such as the mother breastfeeding in the lower left corner, the pair of women with their backs to Christ, and finally the character, also with his back turned, which reflects Tintoretto's typical skill in portraying anatomical details, creating figures capable of exuding strength and vitality.

Resurrection Christ Tiziano 16/17th Century paint Oil on canvas Old master Italy
By Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
The Resurrection of Christ Follower of Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)   Venetian school of the late 16th/early 17th century Oil on canvas 108 x 78 cm. - Framed 129 x 99 cm. This jewel of the Venetian school, a work executed between the 16th and 17th centuries by a Venetian artist, illustrates the episode of the Resurrection of Christ: as reported in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 28:1-7) the event is accompanied by an explosion of light and glow, with the figure of Christ rising into the sky. Christ's face, serene and victorious, looks up towards the Light and the Infinite, in contrast to his majestic figure, here constructed with the appearance of a classical sculpture, contrasted by an intensely luminous background. The Risen One firmly holds in His hand the banner (white with a red cross) of the Resurrection, also known as the flag of St. George, which iconographically represents His victory over death, while raising His right hand in a blessing act. With his feet he crushes a snake and a skull, a sign of Christ's triumph over sin and death. The painting belongs to the Venetian school and presents clear reminiscences with the works of Titian Vecellio...

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...
