Circa 1715. Large English School Portrait of Lady with Oranges.

About the Item

Large English School Portrait of lady with Oranges. Circle of Michael Dahl (1659 - 1743). The painting finds many similarities with the stylistics and setting of portraits of the Petworth Beauties series of Petworth House. In some of which we find the orange shrub, sometimes in flower. Swedish painter Michael Dahl was the only serious rival of the other foreign portraitist, German Godfrey Kneller, one of the protagonists of the English portrait school. 1715 circa. Dimensions: H 128 cm x L 103cm Oil on canvas. Relined. In good condition. A three-quarter-length portrait, standing, three-quarters right, wearing a green silk dress and an orange cloak. Her left hand is resting on a pedestal against an interior of  background.  The lady of noble appearance has a studiedly informal hairstyle. His clothing, which we can define as "a fake desabille", corresponds to the fashion of the early 18th century. At elbow height the fabric of the dress is stapled by jewels, this gives a soft appearance to the whole, and allows the painter to demonstrate mastery in skillfully representing the folds of the fabric.  The "wrapping gown", worn by the model, was used especially in the evening, or in private rooms and environments. The presence of an orange plant is not accidental, it could be an allusion to the heraldic symbols, the hypothesis strengthened by the orange color of the woman's cloak.

  • Adriana Pincherle (1905- 1996). A lady with a turban and green shadows.
    By Adriana Pincherle
    Located in Firenze, IT
    Adriana Pincherle, (1905, Rome - 1996, Florence). A lady with a turban and green shadows in a landscape. Italian female painter, active in Rome and from 1943 in Florence. Painting signed and dated lower right: Adriana Pincherle. 1973. Oil painting on canvas. The simple composition, which represents a woman from behind, bears the influence of Matisse's avant-garde style, with bold and refined color combinations. The shape is created with color, creating an almost surreal and highly expressive effect. The painter once said: "My painting has always been figurative, not realistic. In this sense I felt very similar to the Informal movement, which, fundamentally, pushed my passion for color to the extreme." FREE SHIPPING in Italy and Europe Artist Biography: Pincherle Adriana Rome 25 December 1905 - Florence 8 January 1996 Adriana was born in Rome on 25 December 1905, into a family in which two cultures were intertwined: the Jewish one of her father, the engineer Carlo Pincherle, of Venetian origins and in love with painting, and the Catholic one of her mother, Isa di she. De Marsanich, a noble but decayed Hungarian. Adriana is the eldest child and two years older than her brother Alberto, known to the literary world under the pseudonym Alberto Moravia As Pincherle herself says about her, as a child she spent hours admiring her father who painted watercolours, and it was perhaps then that her interest in drawing and above all her particular sensitivity towards color was born. Thus, having completed her classical studies, she began to attend the "ladies" atelier of the engraver Alfredo Petrucci and the free nude courses at the Academy, where she met Mimmo Spadini and Scipione, and came into contact with Roman art. In 1931 she made her debut at the collective "First Roman exhibition of female art" at the "Galleria di Roma", while the following year, at the same gallery, she exhibited a solo show together with Corrado Cagli, already attracting the attention of critics, famous comment by Longhi, cited several times by Pincherle herself, who prefers the "sissy" between the two artists. As evidence of the results achieved by Adriana since her first works, we remember that among her works presented in 1932 there was also the famous "Standing Self-Portrait", now in the Uffizi Pincherle's growth passes through places and periods common to both the Roman School and the school of painters of the via Cavour group (Mafai, Raphaël, Scipione), with tangents and deviations, but his pictorial research arrives at original solutions independent of any label . Fundamental to the maturation of her art was her stay in Paris in 1933, in which Pincherle admired and studied closely the Fauves, Renoir and in particular Matisse. In the same year she exhibited for the first time in Florence at the Sala d'arte delle Nazioni with Milena Barilli...
