Pieter Casteels III 'Signed' Floral Still Life Old master Paint 18th Century Art

1700-1750

About the Item

Pieter Casteels III (Antwerp 1684 - 1749 Richmond) circle Floral still life Signed lower left, on the stone: P Casteels About 1730 Oil painting on canvas Cm. 57 x 103, In frame 67 x 112 Expertise of Prof. Ferdinando Arisi The painting is accompanied by a critical study drawn up by Ferinando Arisi who attributes its authorship to the hand of the Antwerp master Pieter Casteels III (Antwerp 1684 - 1749 Richmond), an attribution confirmed by the signature on the stone at the bottom left. The work, which follows a horizontal development, shows rich floral compositions arranged according to a studied randomness above the architectural fragments of a garden. The still life documents very well the expressive qualities of the painter, capable in his creations of creating a sequence of similar compositions but without falling into the banality of illustrative replication, showing a descriptive sensitivity of considerable visual impact and refinement. As specified in the expertise, the still life was created around 1730, following a taste that, from the ways of Gaspar Peter Verbruggen, evolves towards forms typical not only of the Netherlands, but which can easily be defined as European; in Italy, for example, painters active in the Roman-Neapolitan environment such as Gasparo Lopez, Francesco Lavagna and Nicola Malinconico are expressed in a similar way; Among the paintings that can be compared, we see the two still lifes with flowers over sculpted basins, one of which signed and dated 1729, sold at Christie's, in London, on November 6, 1964. The work is presented in an excellent state of conservation, completed by an wooden frame gilded. Equipped with authenticity expertise (FIMA-CINOA). Professional and insured shipping under our responsibility.

  • De Wit Flowers Still life Paint Oil on canvas 18th Century Flemish Cupids Art
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Jacob De Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754) attributable/ workshop Pair of Cupids with Garland of Flowers Oil on canvas 91 x 103 cm. - Framed 104 x 115 cm. Provenance: Christie's (London, Old master Painting 12.12.1996) lot 82 This magnificent composition depicts two cupids holding a garland of flowers, placed on a fine architecture with bas-reliefs and masks, presumably the top of a fountain. One of the two cupids sympathetically holds a part of it with his hands, while his head turns towards the viewer; the second cupid, on the other hand, must have clumsily broken the thread holding its end, and is sitting sullenly with a torch and a tear streaking his chubby cheek. The work, given its stylistic features and compositional taste, can be attributed to the Flemish artist Jacob de Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754), or to an artist from his workshop, with his typical triumphal and opulent style, which reveals clear influences from Rubens and Van Dijck, but also from Gerard de Lairesse...

  • Ascione Still Life Paint Oil on canvas Old master Baroque 17/18th Century Italy
    By Aniello Ascione (Naples, news from 1680 to 1708)
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Aniello Ascione (Naples, news from 1680 to 1708) Still life with festoon of flowers and fruit Oil painting on canvas, 89 x 117 cm in frame cm 109 x 137 With expertise and attributive study by Prof. Stefano Causa (University of Naples) '' This fruit composition with a festoon of flowers belongs to Aniello Ascione's brush and is a prominent addition to the final game of the Neapolitan still life - the most baroque and decorative one can imagine. The naturalistic work, still Caravaggesque, of the specialists of the early sixteenth century, from Luca Forte to Porpora, now seems a distant memory. The name of Ascione also comes from the comparison with the still life signed by the Civic Museum of Castello Ursini in Catania, against which the painting in question qualifies as a sixteenth version. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for easily repeatable patterns to recur in the workshops of still life painters. The melon on the right, the rush of flowers and, in the background, the profile of a column or a fountain. We could compare them to the normalized formal types used by great southern...
