Tommaso Minardi (attr.)
Tommaso Minardi Flight to Egypt 19 century oil paper wood

early 19th century

About the Item

The scene depicted is taken from the Chapter 20 of the apocriphal gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, telling about an event happened during the rest on the flight to Egypt. The Virgin Mary, tired, asked Joseph to get her some dates from a palm where she was leaning on but, unfortunatly, it was too high and he couldn't make it. So intervened Jesus that ordered the palm to bend. In our painting the very rare subject is represented with a variant: the angels were the means between the branches of the palm and the Holy Family, creating an ideal path between the spiritual orders and the Earth experience. From the artistic point of view it shows resemblances with the style of the Centre of Italy but with clear influences of the roman enrvironment of the early 19th century. Particularly evident the "Perugineschi" (ispired-by-Perugino) affinities, mostly in the delicacy of the phisiognomies and in the light recalling Renaissance atmospheres, making us suggest Tommaso Minardi as the author. Minardi, born in Faenza, studied in Rome and was the director of the Perugia Academy for a long time. The component freshness and the neoclassical structures of the shapes, clearly highlighting the attention dedicated to the sketching as taught in the Academies, perfectly match the stylistic characteristics of this artist that in the 1843 signed the "Purismo Manifest"

    Urbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies. Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life. We often speak of a "brain drain," but in this case we are truly happy to be able to say that this is a "return," and an important one: an artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art...
