Gaspare Lopez, attrib. Still Life with Fountain, Obelisk and Cascade of Flowers in a Garden, Naples, c. 1720 Oil on canvas, 36 × 45.2 cm Giltwood frame of later date, 48 × 57.4 cm Inscription on reverse: “H. C. Veit – 1A Chesham Mews SW1 – 16 June 1957” This painting, one of a pair of Neapolitan still lifes from the early eighteenth century, displays a refined architectural setting combined with a rich cascade of flowers—features closely associated with the work of Gaspare Lopez, one of the leading Italian flower painters of the period. At the centre stands a fountain with a putto, its stream rendered in fine, silvery strokes that recall Lopez’s characteristic way of enlivening his compositions with water. To the left rises a slender obelisk, a motif that appears in several of his more elaborate garden scenes and contributes to the noble, decorative tone of the setting. The cascade of flowers is constructed with the inventive spirit typical of his floral capricci: roses, tulips, peonies, carnations and his distinctive blue bellflowers, painted with a clear, bright touch. The colours are luminous, joyful and decorative, expressing the Neapolitan vitality that marks Lopez’s mature style. Already in his lifetime he was known as “Gaspare dei fiori” for his spectacular and often deliberately exuberant floral arrangements. The background features an Italianate garden with cypresses, terraces and stone structures. This repertoire closely parallels the still lifes with garden terraces preserved at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (inv. GG 1658, 1662, 1664), all attributed to Lopez. Despite its smaller size, the present painting shares the same horizontal layout, bright skies with soft clouds and the interplay of architecture and abundant floral masses, offering strong arguments for the attribution. Lopez trained under Andrea Belvedere, the foremost Neapolitan flower painter of the late Baroque. From him he inherited a refined botanical vocabulary, brilliant colour and a taste for scenographic compositions, which he later developed in a more decorative and international direction while active between Naples, Rome and Florence. Condition: old varnish and stable craquelure. Provenance A handwritten label on the reverse, dated 16 June 1957 and bearing the London address 1A Chesham Mews, SW1, identifies former ownership by Henri C. “Harry” Veit (1925–2012): American citizen, engineer trained at Princeton, US Navy veteran and grandson of the French Orientalist painter Maurice Bompard...

The present pair of portraits would make an exceptional addition to any collection of early American art not only because they were painted by the notable William Jennys, but also because the sitters are members of notable and influential New England families. In addition, these pendants have impeccable provenance: they have never left ownership of the decedents of the Kimball family and this is the first time they have been available for purchase. David Kimball (1766-1848) and Nancy Stacy Kimball (1774-1844) were members of historic Massachusetts families. David Kimball is a sixth-generation decedent of Richard Kimball (d. 1675) and Ursula Scott (d. 1659), who emigrated from Rattlasden, Suffolk County, England to Watertown MA around 1634. The family then relocated in 1637 to Ipswich, the city with which the family is now most strongly identified, when Richard was appointed to be a wheelwright.[1] Nancy likewise had early New England ancestry, descended from Simon Stacy and Elizabeth Clark, who were married in London in 1620.[2] Nancy Stacy was the second wife of David Kimball, and the two were married in 1799. Given this, the present pendant portraits were likely completed shortly after the marriage. David had two children by his first wife Mary Morse, who died in September of 1798. David and Nancy would have nine additional children between 1801 and 1815.[3] Most notably, the couple were parents of the Boston politician and showman Moses Kimball (1809-1895).[2][3] Moses would found the Boston Museum, an early for-profit museum and theater opened in 1841 that resembled European curiosity cabinets: the museum displayed paintings of Thomas Scully and Charles Peale alongside Chinese artwork, stuffed animals, dwarves and mermaids. Alongside these exhibits, visitors could attend the theater which held performances by gymnasts and contortionists, followed by performances of Shakespeare and Dickens.[4] This museum set the model for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which when founded in 1870 held a similarly diverse collection and appealed to the interests of a diverse set of visitors.[5] Moreover, some Greek antiquities from Moses Kimball's museum were eventually given to the MFA and Moses donated approximately $5,000 to the MFA's endowment upon his death.[6][7] William Jennys (1774–1859), also known as J. William Jennys, is an important American primitive portrait...

This museum quality old master oil on canvas formal portrait painting depicting the family of the Count Zanardi is signed by the artist- the female painter Lucia Casalini Torelli- and published in a book dedicated to Casalini Torelli’s workshop and academy. This palatial masterpiece artwork comes directly from the ancient Villa Maraini Guerrieri - Palidano di Gonzaga (Mantua), an historic Italian heritage building owned by the descendants of the family portrayed for more than two centuries, until 1998. The big scale of this oil on canvas masterpiece painting states the relevance of Lucia Casalini Torelli as a painter. The present artwork is a formal family portrait painting that aim to introduce the characters depicted according to their social role in the society. The noble family is all gathered under a loggia overlooking a park, the landscape in the background is partially covered by a beautiful red cloth on the right side. The father stands up and holds the hand of his eldest son, proudly introducing his future heir. The son wears a light-blue dress and red boots, he is depicted in a serious pose holding a black tricorn hat under his arm and a rapier sword on his belt. The mother wears an elegant gold and dark green brocade dress, she is sitting with her youngest daughter on her knees while her second son is by her side. The little daughter wears a lovely long red and dress with white lace and holds an apple on her hand. The son stands next to his mother and is dressed in a brown priestly clothes. This palatial old masters piece was probably painted in 1740 due to the similarities with Cardinal Doria’ s portrait, now on display at the Doria Palace Museum, the official residence of the Prince of Genoa. The painting features original canvas (“prima tela”) and antique original patina, it is in excellent overall condition considering the age, use and its large scale. A formal detailed condition report and the results of the inspection with the UV lamp accompanied by photos is available on request. As well as for its exceptional quality and quite perfect state of conservation, this painting is particularly important and even more valuable both for the artist who painted it and for its absolutely exclusive provenance. Lucia painted the most prominent and powerful noble families of her time, the location of these paintings is unknown to the art market as it is extremely likely that the portraits are still kept in private collections. Furthermore, Lucia was one of the most appreciated artists of her time, so important that she was admitted as a member of the academy at a time when women were forbidden to attend these studies. In 1706, Felice Torelli...
