About the Item

Domenico Parodi, one of the best Italian portrait painters between the end of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century; the author sets his art according to the French models, fully returning to the genre of the `` French '' portrait, inaugurated by Hyacinthe Rigaud at the beginning of the 18th century. Parodi acquired the French portraiture code by depicting the nobility with a celebratory impact, with poses and gestures of refined luxurious elegance, to which he contributed use of a pictorial palette with silvery tones. In our case an elegantly dressed gentleman is immortalized, with a rich dress according to the typical fashion of the time, standing in a relaxed pose. The ratio of scarlet and silvery-white colors emphasizes refinement and taste. His good-natured face with an intelligent look evokes only positive emotions. The artistic principles of classicism in this portrait are inseparable from the splendor of the Baroque art the 18th century.

Masterly painted genre scene “testing grandfather’s pipe” depicting lively domestic moment.

  • Reflections of Contemplation by German Artist Karl Weise, Candle Light Genre
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    This painting features a young girl sitting on a chair in a dimly lit room, illuminated by the soft glow of an orange-tinted ceiling lamp. This painting captures the essence of the candle-light genre of art, which originated in the 17th century and was popularized by Dutch and Flemish artists. The candle-light paintings were characterized by the use of a single source of light, which was usually a candle, and were often accompanied by the inclusion of reflective surfaces such as mirrors, to create an ambiance of warmth and intimacy. Weise's painting is a beautiful example of this genre, as he uses the same technique of a single source of light to create a sense of depth and realism in the painting. The girl in the painting is dressed in a vibrant red dress and white stockings, and her expression suggests a moment of contemplation. On the table, there is a photo frame, perhaps containing a picture of someone dear to her, and its reflection is visible in the mirror in the background. The piano on the right side of the painting is in shadow, while above it is a portrait painting with a golden frame, which adds to the ambiance of the room. Karl Weise was a renowned painter known for his exceptional use of light and shadow in his paintings, which created a mesmerizing play of light that evoked a sense of depth and realism in his work. His paintings were highly appreciated during his lifetime, and they continue to be admired today for their timeless beauty and artistic merit. In conclusion, Karl Weise's painting is a beautiful example of the candle-light genre of art. The use of a single source of light creates a warm and intimate ambiance, while the shadows add depth and dimension to the painting. The young girl's expression and the inclusion of the photo frame and portrait painting add a sense of storytelling to the painting, making it a truly captivating classic artwork...
