Pietro Antonio Rotari was an Italian painter born in Verona on September 30, 1707. The son of Sebastiano, a physician and naturalist, from a young age he showed a marked inclination for painting. His artistic training began in Verona, where he was a pupil of Antonio Balestra until the age of 18. Between 1725 and 1727 he moved to Venice. Later, between 1728 and 1732, he went to Rome, joining the studio of Francesco Trevisani. In Rome, in 1730, he also went to Grottaferrata to study the works of Domenichino, consolidating his markedly classicist orientation. From 1731 to 1734, he worked with Francesco Solimena in Naples. Returning to Verona, he opened his own studio: during this period, he mainly produced works of a sacred character, such as the St. Francis Borgia obtaining from Pope Paul III the confirmation of the exercises of s. Spirit for Bergamo in 1740, and The Alms of s. Ludovico da Tolosa for the Franciscans of St. Anthony's Basilica in 1741. The Jesuits were among his most assiduous admirers, and in 1743 he sent to Reggio Emilia the St. George tempted to sacrifice to idols for the church of the same name. In 1749 he was appointed earl. In 1750 he moved to Vienna, and in 1756 he was invited to Russia by the court of Tsarina Elizabeth I. In St. Petersburg, he became court painter and also devoted himself to portraying Russian villages and peasants. He was in great demand as a portrait painter, painting the royal families in Dresden and St. Petersburg. Many of his works were initially kept at the Russian Academy of Art and Catherine II's Peterhof Palace. Rotari is particularly known for his characterful heads and for his marvelous female portraits, referred to as "passions," with marked and languid expressiveness, painted in oil and pastel, which contributed significantly to his fame. As evidence of Rotari's boundless success on Russian soil, it is necessary to recall how Catherine II purchased 340 of his paintings for display in the so-called "cabinet of fashions and graces" of the luxurious Peterhof Palace, designed in part by Bartolomeo Rastrelli near St. Petersburg. Rotari died suddenly in St. Petersburg on August 31, 1762, and was given a solemn funeral.
It is precisely to the production of female portraits by the Veronese Rotari that the painting in question is related. A richly and lavishly attired lady unashamedly turns her gaze to the viewer, holding a basket of multicolored wildflowers in her hands: the work is close to Rotari's passions, which were particularly appreciated by Tsarina Catherine of Russia, both in terms of iconographic scope and technical-execution details: the painting is a valuable testimony to the great visual fortune of Rotari's production in Italy and Europe already from the mid-eighteenth century.
