Lucas de la Haye, called Luca Fiammingo (Nivelles, 1612-Rome, 1682)
Saint Cecilia and two cherubs
Oil on canvas
118 x 91 cm. -Framed 129 x 102 cm.
Expertise of Prof. Emilio Negro (Bologna)
This evocative painting, which we are delighted to exhibit to you, has Saint Cecilia, the Roman noblewoman who later converted to Christianity and a very popular figure in the Baroque period as the patron saint of music, instrumentalists and singers, at the centre of the composition. She is depicted here as a splendid maiden dressed in regal robes, intent on playing a musical instrument watched over by angelic presences.
Beautiful and evocative is the detail of her upward gaze, irradiated by a mystical and divine light, since it is precisely through music that the Saint rises towards the divine.
With regard to the style characteristics, it should be noted that the painting in question belongs to a skilful master active in the mid 17th century, and precisely, on the basis of the use of warm, balanced hues to soften the chiaroscuro contrasts, of Tuscan or Roman matrix.
The skilful author must therefore be sought within the central Italian Baroque culture influenced by the decorative splendour of the great Giovanni Battista Gaulli known as Baciccio, and likewise by the classic reinterpretation of Raphael carried out in the first decades of the 17th century first by the Bolognese Guido Reni, and then in Rome by the talented Andrea Sacchi. The traits of some foreigners, also working in Rome in the same period, should not be ignored, among them the works of Simon Vouet.
This explains why in our canvas one perceives both the learned Bolognese culture of Reni, Francesco Albani and Domenichino, and the more evolved 17th century Roman pictorial narrative, derived from knowledge of the best works of Pietro da Cortona: the tendentially warm colours of this St. Cecilia and two cherubs anticipate the salon-like refinements that presage the transmontane baroque, that artistic current à la page so beloved by the cultured Roman aristocracy of the 17th century.
By delving into the details of the composition, it is easy to recognise in the painting the modus pingendi of the talented Lucas de la Haye, known as Fra Luca Fiammingo (Nivelles, 1612 - Rome, 1682), a master of refined skills active in Italy during the 17th century.
Being a Carmelite friar, his works were in great demand by his order, as well as by noblemen and wealthy merchants of the time;
To confirm the attribution proposed here, it is sufficient to compare our canvas with other works by Lucas de la Haye, such as the Assumption of the Virgin (1) and above all the Vision of St. Teresa of Avila (2), both in Montecompatri (Church of S. Silvestro) and Christ Crowned with Thorns (3) (Convent of S. Maria della Scala) and St. Teresa of Avila has the vision of the angel (4) (Church of S. Maria della Scala, Rome).
In the paintings listed here, like ours, the typical painting of the Flemish master emerges, imaginative and classicist, achieved with warm hues and flashes of light, yet ready to welcome Roman and Emilian influences with a casual ease.

Pieter de Witte, also known as Peter Candid (Bruges, 1548 - Munich, 1628) - Workshop/School
The Annunciation
oil on canvas
(cm): 79 x 110 - framed 92 x 127
We are delighted to present a fascinating work, dating back to the beginning of the 17th century, inspired by the prototype of the Annunciation created around 1586-1595 by Pieter de Witte, also known as Peter Candid (Bruges, 1540/1548 - Munich, 1628), which has been lost but made famous thanks to an engraving made and published by Jan Sadeler I (1550-1600).
A painter of Flemish origin with strong affinities to 16th century Italianising culture, De Witte tackles the theme of the Annunciation numerous times, revealing knowledge of both Roman and Florentine Mannerism, inherited from his Italian sojourn.
Some of these works are now housed in various international museums, in addition to autograph or workshop works that can be found in numerous public or private collections; in this regard, we may mention the following:
- National Museum in Prague [1]
- Carrara Academy of Bergamo, Angelo Annunziante and Vergine Annunziata [2].
- Finnish National Museum, Helsinki
- Private property, religious institution Bergamo (Bergamo area)
Observing the composition, we can admire the rather well-established iconographic scheme, with the two figures immersed in an almost dreamlike atmosphere: the Archangel Gabriel on the left, of an ethereal beauty, appears imperious as he delivers the supreme annunciation to the Virgin Mary, who greets him with lowered eyes, composed in her amazement; surprised in the act of reading a book, she receives the white lilies...

Annunciation Bonini Paint Oil in canvas Old master 17th Century Leonardo Italy
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Girolamo Bonini, called Anconitano (Ancona, circa 1600 - Bologna 1680)
Annunciation (or Madonna of the Beautiful Angel)
Oil on canvas (115 x 91 cm. - Framed 134 x 108 cm.)
Work accompanied by the expertise of Prof. Emilio Negro
The work, undoubtedly commissioned as an object of private devotion, shows the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary, a Gospel episode here set on the two figures portrayed in the foreground, the Archangel Gabriel with outstretched wings, a portrait of supernatural beauty, and the Virgin;
We see her here absorbed in reading a prayer book with her eyes turned humbly downwards as a sign of devotion, while a small cherub hands her white lilies, a symbol of purity and chastity.
In the upper part of the composition is the austere image of God the Father, with the dove radiating with light, emblem of the Holy Spirit, surrounded by a flock of angels fluttering in the clouds charged with intense glow and play of light, in full Baroque style.
It should also be noted that the image of the Saviour's mother in a delicately pious attitude, with her yellow veil, her broad blue mantle and her usual modest red dress from which the edges of her white blouse protrude, is to be interpreted as a kind of tender allegory of sacred love.
The painting in question is an interesting replica with variants of the composition commissioned from Francesco Albani for the Fioravanti chapel in the ancient church...
