About the Item
John Clostermann
(Osnabrück 1660 - 1711 London)
Portrait of a boy, maybe Charles Hinde
Oil on canvas, 61 x 74,6 cm
John Closterman (also Klosterman) was a portrait painter of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He primarily portrayed English noblemen and European aristocratic families. His father was already an artist and he trained his son. In 1679 he went to Paris and studied with Francois de Troy. In 1681 he was in London and worked for the artist John Riley, whose studio he took over after his death. In 1696 he was invited to the Spanish court. He also traveled to Italy several times. However, he always returned to England. Examples of his work include the Marlborough family portrait and portraits of King Charles II of Spain and his wife Anne.
What is special about Closterman's portraits is the fine capture of the sitter as well as the coloring with a special brushstroke.
The sitter here could be Charles Hinde (1689-1751), who (as inscribed on the reverse) was a canon at Lincoln, rector of Cromwell at Oxford. In his hands the sitter holds the Chronological and Poetical Dictionnary, which was published in 1703 and was the first dictionary written in English and arranged alphabetically.

- Three AngelsBy Domenico Piola the ElderLocated in New York, NYProvenance: Robert L. and Bertina Suida Manning, New York, until 1996 Private Collection, USA One of the leading artists in Genoa during the second half of the seventeenth century, Domenico Piola came from a successful family of artists, renowned for their many illusionistic ceiling programs throughout Genoese churches and palaces. A prolific draughtsman and painter, Domenico oversaw an extremely productive studio. In addition to his collaborations with numerous other artists, Domenico also provided many designs for book illustrations and prints that circulated throughout Europe, earning him international exposure and high acclaim in his own day. As Dr. Anna Orlando has indicated (written communication), the present work is an early work by Piola, datable from the late 1640s. At this time the young artist came strongly under the influence of Castiglione and Valerio Castello, while admiring the works of Giulio Cesare Procaccini. Piola’s works from this period are exuberant and fluid, and the artist’s love of portraying children is evident from the angels and putti that populate both his altarpieces and more intimate paintings. The present work depicts three angels...Category
