About the Item
Portrait of a Levantine Merchant, 18th Century
Italian school.
Oil on canvas.
Circle of Giuseppe Nogari (1699-1763)
Dimensions with frame cm 71 x 56
Dimensions without frame cm 66 x 51
The genre of "Character Heads," popular in the 18th century, celebrated the depiction of human figures with pronounced features, often accompanied by elements evoking exoticism and cultural influences from the Levant. This fascination with the Orient, particularly strong in 18th-century Venice, was reflected not only in the subjects but also in the compositional and chromatic choices.
This painting, attributed to the circle of Giuseppe Nogari, portrays a man with a long white beard, dressed in a blue cloak and a red garment. While the face and beard are rendered with great precision and realism, the choice of colors and the overall composition reflect an orientalist tendency, consistent with the cultural tastes of the period. The subject, likely a Levantine merchant, embodies the Venetian artistic tradition of highlighting connections with the Eastern world.
Technique: Oil on canvas
Period: First half of the 18th century
Condition:
The paint layer shows some signs of deformation, and the overall condition is medium. However, the painting remains legible, with the main details clearly visible.
This portrait highlights the orientalizing trend typical of "Character Heads," combined with the Venetian tradition of portraying emblematic figures linked to the Levantine world. The attribution to the circle of Giuseppe Nogari places it within an artistic milieu that celebrated cultural interactions and the allure of the exotic.

Portrait of Raimondo di Montecuccoli in armor with a marshal's staff. Circa 1660
Located in Firenze, IT
Portrait of Raimondo di Montecuccoli in armor with a marshal's staff. Dutch School.
Oil on canvas
Dutch School.
Circle of Peter Nason (Amsterdam, 1612 - 1690 The Hague).
Portrait of a military commander in armor with a marshal's staff.
In the portrait of the illustrious general Raimondo Montecuccoli, it can be observed that he still appears without the Order of the Golden Toson. This detail suggests that the portrait could be dated before 1664.
Raimondo Montecuccoli was a famous general and military strategist of the 17th century in the service of the Habsburg Empire. Born in 1609 in Italy, Montecuccoli fought in numerous European wars, distinguishing himself for his tactical and strategic abilities. He is best known for his victories during the Thirty Years' War and the war against the Turks. Montecuccoli is also remembered for his writings on military theory, which influenced subsequent generations of commanders. He died in 1680.
Montecuccoli came from a noble Italian family but chose to pursue a military career in the service of the Habsburg Empire. He studied in Vienna and fought in numerous battles and military campaigns, earning the trust of Emperor Leopold I.
Montecuccoli was known for his discipline, his ability to adapt to situations on the battlefield, and his skill in leading troops with cunning and determination.
Montecuccoli fought in many significant battles during the Thirty Years' War and the wars against the Turks. Some of his most famous battles include the Battle of Lens in 1648, where he achieved a decisive victory against French forces, and the Battle of Vezekény in 1664, where he defeated the Ottoman army. He faced adversaries such as the renowned French general Turenne and the great Turkish commander Kara Mustafa...

Portrait of Jesus and Sacred Heart by John Paul Chase (John Dillinger Associate)
Located in Soquel, CA
Delicate and detailed portrait of Jesus by notable outlaw John Paul Chase (American, 1901-1973). Jesus is looking directly at the viewer with a piercing gaze, holding a glowing sacred heart in his left hand. The other hand is gesturing toward the viewer, palm up, and the stigmata can be seen on his palm. Jesus is wearing a red garment with a blue cloak, the traditional symbolic colors for humanity and the heavens. It appears that this piece was painted over a previous composition.
Signed "John Paul Chase" in the lower right.
Presented in a mahogany frame with an oval opening.
Board size: 31"H x 24"W
Oval opening is 28.75" x 22" at widest points
John Paul Chase (December 26, 1901 – October 5, 1973) was an American bank robber and Depression-era outlaw, who also became an artist. John Paul Chase was born in San Francisco, California. He left grade school to work on a ranch and later became an assistant machinist in a railroad yard. In 1926, Chase was fired from the railroad and was hired as a chauffeur for a professional gambler in Reno, Nevada. He spent the next few years as a bootlegger in Sausalito, San Rafael and San Francisco but was not involved in major crime until his association with Baby Face Nelson in the early 1930s, possibly in March 1932.
It is generally agreed among crime historians that Reno was the most likely place where the two first became partners, Nelson having connections in the local underworld and frequently hid out there while in Chicago and the general Midwest.
On October 23, 1933, he and Nelson robbed their first bank together in Brainerd, Minnesota escaping with $32,000. Along the way, they picked up a number of other outlaws including Charles Fisher...
