About the Item
Thepainting accompanied by an expertise drawn up by prof Ferdinando Arisi that wrote:
This pilgrims' stop is a typical work of Paolo Monaldi active in Rome between 1730 and 1770 in the wake of Locatelli.
The points of contact with his documented works painted before 1765 for Villa Chigi in Rome and now largely in the Alemagna collection in Milan and in a private Neapolitan collection, are so evident as to make a list unnecessary.
Among the rustic scenes painted for the living room on the first floor (A. Busiri Vici, Roman landscape triptych from the 18th century, Rome 1945 images 151-164) there are some in which the protagonists of this happy composition are inserted, in different attitudes, set with great sobriety, as was Monaldi's custom (if the "villages" are complex they are usually not his but Paolo Anesi's)
the cave is also frequent in his repertoire (it can be seen, for example, in one of the paintings mentioned, the one with "shepherds and herds near a natural arch")
The date of execution should be that of the Chigi cycle, around 1765
Paolo Monaldi was born in Rome and frequented the workshop of the Roman landscape painter Paolo Anesi. He collaborated with Anesi above all by painting figures for his Roman views, as in the case of the decoration of Villa Chigi, carried out between 1765 and 1767. In particular, in the fifth room, the overdoors with Diana and Endymion and Angelica and Medoro as well as a series of eight landscapes with bumps.
The two painters compensated each other, given that Monaldi had a certain propensity for human figures and genre scenes in the style of the Roman bamboccianti of the late 1600s, while Anesi for views of Rome.
His style also reveals a certain closeness to the painting of his contemporary Andrea Locatelli, also active in the capital. This closeness of style made us think of a student of Monaldi also in Locatelli's workshop. The tavern scenes take us back to the great Caravaggio tradition, while those with views and ruins, set mostly in the Roman countryside, recall the Flemish bamboccianti and Salvator Rosa.
He was a painter of various patrician families. For the Rospigliosi family, in particular for Duke Camillo, he painted some canvases for Palazzo Rospigliosi. Again for the Chigi family, in addition to their Roman villa, some of his works were requested for the villa in Ariccia and for the Barberini family for whom he decorated the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. But among his works there are also altarpieces such as San Giuseppe da Leonessa blessing his homeland in the Sanctuary of San Giuseppe a Leonessa in the province of Rieti, even if in sacred painting he betrays a certain closeness to the atmospheres of Arcadian painting.
Other works by him are found in Palazzo Braschi and the Galleria dell'Accademia di San Luca.
