Federico Maldarelli (Italian, 1826-1893) An Exceptional Pair of Oil Paintings
"La Coucher and La Toilette" - A beautiful pair of oil on canvas paintings in frames.
Maldarelli, whether in his religious altarpieces and murals or his portraits of aristocrats or illustrious personalities, believed devoutly in the power of beauty to elevate and refine the human spirit. His accessories always are basic and simple, allowing the beauty of the face to be all-important.
"Le Coucher (The Sleeper), one of this pair, is an exquisite example of the neoclassical style in which he painted, often using beautiful Neapolitan women from aristocratic families. In "Le Coucher, the gently sweeping curves in the woman's hair and at the base of the pillow are repeated again in the folds of the sheets and the contour of her nightclothes. A bright clear light is reflected off of the pillow and her face and, more subtly off of the rich gold color of the sheets. Everything in this painting enhances rather than distracts or distances the viewer from the main focus of the work - a beautiful young woman who is asleep.
In “La Toilette” (The Groomer) the gently sweeping curves in the woman’s clothing are repeated in her hair. The broad area of yellow in the background is balanced by the brighter, clear colors in the foreground. The modeling of this young woman’s skin is a smooth gradation of values, again emphasizing the neoclassical approach to skin tones. Everything in this painting enhances rather than distracts or distances the viewer from the main focus of the work of this beautiful young woman who is dressing and grooming herself.
Each canvas measures 30” x 24” inches. Both are signed and dated.
La coucher dated: 1862
