About the Item
The painting is a portrait of an unknown lady, here depicted with a with an absorbed look. The intense red lipstick, matching with the the dress-allusion to fire and passion-creates a strong contradiction with the the sober and plain style, and the thoughtful expression.
The painting, even if not signed, received the authentication of the wife of Vagnetti, Gioia, as reported in the back of the canvas.
Vagnetti approached art under the guidance of his father by attending the free school of Nude at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. He devoted himself entirely to painting after obtaining the Stibbert Prize on 1920. On 1922 he exhibited at the Fiorentina Primaverile; on 1924 he was present for the first time at the Venice Biennale. From then until his death he continued assiduously to take part at the main Italian and foreign exhibitions including the Rome Quadrennial and the Italian Twentieth Century Exhibitions. On the 1927 he founded, with other artists, the Tuscan twentieth-century group (later Tuscan group of the twentieth century).
Two years later he was appointed substitute teacher of “Sketching figures” and “Pictorial anatomy” at the Royal Institute of Art of Porta Romana in Florence. On the 1930 he was in Paris for the first time, where he returned often also in the 40s. On the 1932 he held his first personal exhibition at the Venice Biennale; on the 1934, with the project for the scenes for Bellini's “Sonnambula”, he started a successful career as a set designer, in particular for the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, that accompanied him in parallel to his painting career for all of his life.
On the 1941 he was become an academic of San Luca, decorated with the Legion of Honor and took part of numerous commissions and artistic juries and won important painting awards. He was also a writer and journalist: on the 1944 the publisher Carlo Cya of Florence published his volume on Impressionist painters. His works are preserved in numerous Italian and foreign museums (Florence, Forlì, Rome, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Trieste, Paris, Baltimore) and in private collections.

- Florentine Signed Gordigiani Portrait Landscape Painting 19th century oil canvasBy Michele GordigianiLocated in Florence, ITThe scene is set in a luxuriant and blossoming garden-on which we can see a pergola vine training and an ionic column-outlined with fast and wide brush strokes of faint and pastel colours. In some parts of the background is revealed the preparatory layer, because it’s unfinished, but we can presume the presence of a light blue sky with some clouds, deducing it from a confrontation with the left side, where the sky was started. In the foreground a boy dressed up with a style reminding medieval echoes looks like observing a flower or a small animal that he’s holding, as the position of the fingers-that seems caressing something-make suppose. It's signed on the right side: MG. (Michele Gordigiani). The physiognomy, the expression and the hairstyle recall Edoardo Gordigiani...Category

- Oil on Canvas Painting Portrait of the Italian Noble Family of Zanardi CountBy Lucia Casalini TorelliLocated in Firenze, ITThis museum quality old master oil on canvas formal portrait painting depicting the family of the Count Zanardi is signed by the artist- the female painter Lucia Casalini Torelli- and published in a book dedicated to Casalini Torelli’s workshop and academy. This palatial masterpiece artwork comes directly from the ancient Villa Maraini Guerrieri - Palidano di Gonzaga (Mantua), an historic Italian heritage building owned by the descendants of the family portrayed for more than two centuries, until 1998. The big scale of this oil on canvas masterpiece painting states the relevance of Lucia Casalini Torelli as a painter. The present artwork is a formal family portrait painting that aim to introduce the characters depicted according to their social role in the society. The noble family is all gathered under a loggia overlooking a park, the landscape in the background is partially covered by a beautiful red cloth on the right side. The father stands up and holds the hand of his eldest son, proudly introducing his future heir. The son wears a light-blue dress and red boots, he is depicted in a serious pose holding a black tricorn hat under his arm and a rapier sword on his belt. The mother wears an elegant gold and dark green brocade dress, she is sitting with her youngest daughter on her knees while her second son is by her side. The little daughter wears a lovely long red and dress with white lace and holds an apple on her hand. The son stands next to his mother and is dressed in a brown priestly clothes. This palatial old masters piece was probably painted in 1740 due to the similarities with Cardinal Doria’ s portrait, now on display at the Doria Palace Museum, the official residence of the Prince of Genoa. The painting features original canvas (“prima tela”) and antique original patina, it is in excellent overall condition considering the age, use and its large scale. A formal detailed condition report and the results of the inspection with the UV lamp accompanied by photos is available on request. As well as for its exceptional quality and quite perfect state of conservation, this painting is particularly important and even more valuable both for the artist who painted it and for its absolutely exclusive provenance. Lucia painted the most prominent and powerful noble families of her time, the location of these paintings is unknown to the art market as it is extremely likely that the portraits are still kept in private collections. Furthermore, Lucia was one of the most appreciated artists of her time, so important that she was admitted as a member of the academy at a time when women were forbidden to attend these studies. In 1706, Felice Torelli...Category
