About the Item
Peter Mequignon (1768-1826), 1794
Portrait of Carlo Gozzi
Oil on panel, 15 cm x13
Base cm 27 x 18
Dated and signed "P. Mequignon 1794"
The protagonist portrayed, identified by the inscription Carlo Gozzi Venetian poet, was a playwright and writer (1720-1806). Gozzi took an animated part within the diatribe that arose with Carlo Goldoni and the need for renewal in Venetian theater, showing himself to be a stalwart defender of the old artifices of the Commedia dell'Arte in spite of the innovations Goldoni was introducing. He composed a series of revamped tragedies with comic elements, of which, in the immediate aftermath, audiences failed to appreciate the brand new ideational vein. Also interested in Spanish dramas, Gozzi also produced a series of fairy tales. Carlo Gozzi's fairy tales published in Bologna for the Zanichelli types in 1884, reproduce on the first page an engraved portrait of the poet, which the present artist also used.
Of French descent but Irish nationality, a former pupil of the Dublin Society's Schools, Mequignon presented the society in 1788 with several pictorial replicas of paintings made by old masters and won its acclaim. Moving to London to study at the Royal Academy, the artist showed his work at annual exhibitions organized by the institution. He returned to Dublin and exhibited many portraits at the local Society of Artists between 1800 and the following year, then followed his painting activities between Belfast and London.

Mixed Media on Board
Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame)
A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board.
Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
