Santi di Tito (Sansepolcro, 1536 - Florence, 1603)
Portrait of a noblewoman, half-length, with a book in her hand
16th century
Oil on panel 75 x 61 cm. - with frame 115 x 101 x 10 cm.
Provenance: Private collection, Switzerland
Vienna Palais Dorotheum, 10.11.2020, lot 13 (Estimate: Eur 40.000- 60.000)
The high-quality portrait on offer was attributed by Carlo Falciani (on the occasion of its sale at Dorotheum in 2020) to the painter Santi di Tito, not only one of the most influential figures on the Florentine art scene, but also the most interesting portrait painter in the city in the second half of the 16th century. The scholar has specifically dated it to the late 1570s, a period coinciding with the most fruitful and happy years of the Florentine painter's career.
Santi di Tito contributed to the overcoming of late Mannerism in the name of a return to classicist and neo-Quattrocento realism. The attribution of this portrait to the painter is immediately evident in the unmistakable oval shape and firmness of the face, rendered with a compact pinkish complexion that retains a touch of light and natural sensitivity in line with the dictates of the Counter-Reformation, of which the painter was one of the most faithful proponents on the Florentine scene.
Also typical of his style is the firm and voluminous representation of the dress, finely defined in the small intagli of the embroidery, but at the same time typically simplified in the sleeves and bust; the luminous notation with which the design is revealed through compact but subtle and transparent layers, or the large white ruff that gives a clear light to the entire painting are also his distinctive signature.
As suggested by the scholar, we can compare our painting to the ‘Portrait of Guido Guardi with his children’ [1], from a private collection, painted between 1564 and 1568 and exhibited at the exhibition Il Cinquecento a Firenze (Palazzo Strozzi 2017-2018, no. IV. 5, pp. 156-157); in this, although it is a male portrait, Santi di Tito uses the same formal style in the rendering of the faces and ruffs.
In the present portrait, too, the solid volume and powerful figure of the character are set against a monochrome background, similar to that of Guido Guardi with his children. Santi di Tito trained in Florence in the workshop of Bronzino, from whom he learned a preference for rounded, luminous volumes, to which he added an attention to compositional clarity and naturalism imposed by the dictates of the Counter-Reformation, which led him to study the style of Scipione Pulzone and the Zuccari, whom he met both in Florence and during his stay in Rome.
Over the years, the influence of Bronzino became increasingly evident in his work, which became softer and more sensitive, with ever greater naturalness, as can be seen in our Portrait of a Woman. Judging by the level of his commissions, Santi di Tito became one of the most important Florentine portraitists of his time, and this role derives precisely from his pictorial skill and his interest in naturalism, combined with his knowledge of the Florentine drawing tradition, which placed him, like Allori, as the natural heir to the path opened up by Bronzino. [1] Santi di Tito (Florence 1563-1603) Portrait of Guido Guardi with his children 1564/68-1570/80, oil on panel, 98.4 x 75 cm. - Private collection

Located in Riva del Garda, IT
Jacob Ferdinand Voet (Antwerp 1639 - Paris 1689) Atelier
Portrait of the Young Ortensia Mancini, Duchess of La Meilleraye (Rome 1646 - Chelsea 1699)
Oil on canvas
75 x 61 cm. - exquisite gilded and lacquered wooden double frame 105 x 91 cm.
The beautiful painting depicting the young and attractive Duchess Ortensia Mancini is part of the refined portraiture of Jacob Ferdinand Voet (Antwerp 1639 - Paris 1689). Of Flemish origin, the painter achieved great success with the aristocratic families of Rome - where he stayed from 1663 to 1679 - thanks to the famous series of portraits commissioned by Cardinal Flavio Chigi, depicting the most enchanting women of the time, and now housed in the Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia.
The paintings became so popular that the artist was repeatedly asked to reproduce replicas and similar versions of them: the 'cabinet des dames' was thus one of the Roman fashions of the 17th century, justifying the large number of female portraits attributable to his workshop that gravitated on the market.
Voet flaunted in his portraits a peculiar softness and grace in the rendering of the complexions, a subtle voluptuousness in the description of the lips, entrusted to small brushstrokes of red, a sense of calm fixity in the pose, all characteristics that are immediately reflected in the work under examination.

Portrait Lady Pulzone Paint Oil on canvas Old master 16th Century Italian Roma

Scipione Pulzone, called Il Gaetano (Gaeta 1544 - Rome 1598) - workshop of
Portrait of Bianca Cappello (Venice, 1548 - 1587) Grand Duchess of Tuscany, second wife of Francesco I de 'Medici
Second half of the 16th century
oil on canvas, cm. 70 x 56 cm., Framed 103 x 87 cm.
The proposed painting illustrates the portrait of Bianca Cappello (Venice, 1548 - 1587), a noblewoman of Venetian origins, second wife of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Francesco I de 'Medici, whose expressive power is wisely highlighted by the composite cut of light three quarters, with the head and gaze directed at the observer. The beam of light coming from her right brings out the volumes of her face plastically and lingers on her features, highlighted by the large white lace ruff that surrounds his neck and by the details of her precious clothing.
Bianca wears a dark red dress, perhaps a zimarra, embroidered in gold with a plunging neckline and a raised collar of the shirt curled in a ruff and also edged with precious lace, embroidered with the motif of the Florentine lily.
The favorite jewels of the noblewoman were pearls: we see them on a choker that adorns the neckline, in the earrings and again in the hairstyle, which sees the hair gathered at the nape of the neck and adorned with a string of small black pearls and embellished with a clasp.
It is a high-quality painting that can be confined to the workshop of the painter Scipione Pulzone called Gaetano, representing at best a pictorial genre, that of portraiture, in which the master excelled. This attribution would be confirmed by comparisons with the numerous portraits that Pulzone dedicated to the Medici family.
Our painting, in particular, could represent one of the versions that the workshop has replicated, at the request of the numerous art collectors who wish to have a portrait of one of the most influential personalities of the Florentine scene.
The characters drawn by Pulzone were icons of incomparable elegance: noblewomen, knights and religious lent their faces to the eye of the artist who was able to grasp every meticulous detail with his superb technique. A photographic wealth and surprising material attention that trace the pictorial prototypes of Flemish inspiration, in particular of Antonis Mor...

Portrait of Anna de Hooghe - Flemish art Old Master portrait oil painting
By Jacob Ferdinand Voet 1

Painted circa 1660 Anna is standing profile but turned to the viewer/artist with her hand to her heart. She is set in a landscape at twilight.
