St. John the Evangelist
circle of Carlo Dolci (Florence, 1616-1686)
oil painting on canvas, framed
canvas: 30 x 25 inches
framed: 36 x 32 inches
condition: relined canvas, presented in excellent condition
Provenance: From the Collection of the late Andrew Guy Thomson
Exuding solemn beauty and spiritual intensity, this striking oil painting—attributed to the circle of Carlo Dolci, the celebrated Florentine master—is a powerful depiction of St. John the Evangelist, shown in a moment of divine inspiration. Dolci, revered for his meticulous technique and luminous religious imagery, was one of the most important painters of the Italian Baroque. His influence defined sacred painting in Florence during the 17th century.
The young saint, identifiable by his youthful features, red robe, and the open book and quill he holds, looks heavenward in visionary contemplation. The composition is masterfully balanced: the rich chiaroscuro envelops the figure in a quiet intensity, while the soft modeling of the face and hands reveals the characteristic finesse associated with Dolci’s circle.
Framed in a beautifully aged, richly patinated period-style frame, this work speaks to both collectors of Old Masters and lovers of devotional art. The tactile brushwork and deep palette reflect the high-quality craftsmanship of Dolci’s circle, where assistants and pupils closely followed the master's exacting standards.

Three Angels
By Domenico Piola the Elder
Located in New York, NY
Provenance:
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...
