Painting Portrait of a Gentleman 18th century

1700s

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Italian School of the 18th century. The elegant gentleman is pictured with several tomes resting on the piano in front of him, on the backs whose authors are read; the name of Paolo Valcarenghi, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Pavia in the 18th century, stands out in particular. The man portrayed is thus meant to emphasize his belonging to the world of Medicine. Restored and re-framed, the painting is presented in a reconstructed frame with antique elements and equipped on the upper side with a mid-20th-century, working floodlight.

Gruppo 8 dipinti Eroine dell’antichità, Francesco Conti, XVIII secolo
Located in Milan, IT
Oil on gattice wood in octagon. Il gruppo di otto dipinti in oggetto (figg. 1-8) rappresenta, nel classico formato fiorentino dell’ottagono, una serie di effigi femminili a mezza figura. Più precisamente, si tratta di giovani fanciulle elegantemente vestite, disposte in varie attitudini ma accomunate, ad eccezione di due esemplari sui quali ci soffermeremo in seguito, dall’accento sulla ricchezza, evidenziata sia da particolari di fastose console e drappeggi, sia da collane di perle o tessuti preziosi che le donne talvolta maneggiano, ponendovi così l’accento. Una delle figure porta in testa una corona reale, altre dei turbanti o inconsueti copricapi. Questi dettagli conferiscono ai personaggi un aspetto principesco, talvolta abbinato a richiami orientaleggianti. Una formula che riporta alla mente il caso di un dipinto da poco riscoperto nella sua vera identità, il “Ritratto fino a mezzo busto di Regina Armena” di Mario Balassi, seducente connubio di recuperi alloriani ed elementi di fantasia conservato alle Gallerie degli Uffizi (vedi F. Berti, Da ritratto mediceo di Jacopo Ligozzi...
