Michele GordigianiPainting portrait florentine impressionist figurative historical landscapelate 19th century
late 19th century
About the Item
The painting (measures 89.5 x 124 cm; with gilded and carved wooden frame 126 x 158 cm) is an example of unfinished, as can be deduced from the background in which, in some parts, the preparatory layer can be glimpsed. The scene is set in a lush, flower-filled garden - in which a vine arbor and an Ionic column are noted - outlined with quick, broad brush strokes in soft pastel colors during a clear-sky day.
In the foreground is a boy dressed in a style reminiscent of medieval pages, intent on observing a flower or small animal he is holding, as the position of his fingers-which seem to be caressing something-suggests. It's signed on the right side: MG. (Michele Gordigiani).
The physiognomy, expression, and hairstyle recall those of Edoardo Gordigiani, who often served as a model for his father. (For example, in the portrait with his sister No. 21 or the portraits while studying Nos. 25 and 26. We also find him dressed as a page but from different centuries in the nos. 224 and 227. Cf. G. BORSELLINO, Michele Gordigiani, Turin 1994).
Considering the boy's age in his teens (Edward was born in 1866) and the painting technique, which is less defined and more "Impressionist" and "Macchiaioli," we can assume a date at the end of Gordigiani's career, around the 1880s. The deliberately unfinished state seems to confirm this hypothesis, as it is found in other works of the same period (e.g., in portraits Nos. 145, 146, and 147. Cf. BORSELLINO 1994).

Michele Gordigiani
Michele Gordigiani dealt with the genre scenes and historical-mythological framework. He always devoted himself more frequently to portraits, a genre that brought him fame in Italy and worldwide. At the Academy's Annual Exhibition, in 1854, he presented two male portraits, still tied to academic schemes. Since 1855, he frequented the Caffè Michelangiolo with his brother Anatolio, a place where artists who will give life to the Macchiaioli movement, to which he adhered with conviction to new artistic research. Here, he became friends with Giovanni Fattori, Telemaco Signorini, Diego Martelli, Cristiano Banti and in particular with Angiolo Tricca, becoming one of the animators of the group of innovators, which often met in his studio.

Rococo painting with frame by 18th-century Venetian school oil on canvas
Located in Florence, IT
The painting (with a Salvador Rosa-style gilded frame 88 x 116 cm) depicts a group of four children who are playing outside on a swinging seesaw; we are probably dealing with a prank, as can be seen by the satisfied expression of the child on the right at the expense of the one in the foreground, who seems to be supported by the others, perhaps because of the fear felt.
They are dressed in the same way, with black or brown ankle boots and a kind of double-breasted jumpsuit with a rich lace collar reminiscent of the jabots of dames, blue for the one in the foreground, brick-colored for the other three.
Children also look alike in the hair, typical of the period, and features, suggesting a kinship relationship.
We find the same subject, for example, in Johann Zoffany...
