About the Item
Paolo Paoletti (Padua, c. 1671 - Udine, 1735)
Still life with vegetables, fruit and mushrooms
Oil on canvas, 76 x 106 cm
Framed, 87 x 117 cm
Critical Record Prof. Alberto Crispo
The unusual painting illustrated here depicts vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, and flowers on sloping stone planks; in particular we note thistles, celery, curly lettuce, cucumbers, ovoli, apples, almonds, and different varieties of flowers. The still life is a typical work by Paolo Paoletti (Padua c. 1671 - Udine 1735), as comparisons with other works by the artist reveal: see in particular a painting formerly in the collections of the Thun counts, recently acquired by the Autonomous Province of Trento, in which we find the large thistle around which the entire composition revolves. The same reappears in other specimens by our painter, such as a still life formerly on the Roman antiquarian market mistakenly ascribed to Agostino Verrocchi by Federico Zeri (Fototeca Zeri, card no. 63568), where we also see again, very similar, the ovoli, curly salad and cucumbers. Mushrooms are then repurposed in a large canvas that appeared on July 8, 2010 at Sotheby's in London, lot 188, with an absurd reference to the circle of Giuseppe Vicenzino, which also depicts flowers perfectly consistent with those outlined in our painting.
To conclude we can point out that curly salad and celery reappear, in quite similar forms, among the elements of a still life passed over a decade ago on the English market (Christie's South Kensington, July 11, 2008, lot 97, as a circle of Abraham Brueghel). Unlike other specialists of this pictorial genre, our artist was already remembered by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century art historians, including Luigi Lanzi, according to whom "He was especially distinguished in flowers, and with much truth he portrayed eziandio fruits, herbage, fish, and game" (L. Lanzi, Storia pittorica della Italia..., III, Florence 1823, pp. 241-242). He was also one of the first still-life painters to whom a monograph was dedicated (T. Miotti, Le nature morte di Paolo Paoletti, Udine 1968), and thanks to more recent studies more information about his life and artistic career has been added (on this subject see at least G. Bocchi, Paolo Paoletti "industre emulator della Natura," in Quadri a fiori e frutti. Still Life Paintings in Castel Thun and Trentino Museums, exhibition catalog, edited by E. Mich, Trento 2009, pp. 75-83; A. Craievich, Una traccia veneziana per Paolo Paoletti, in L'impegno e la conoscenza. Studies in art history in honor of Egidio Martini, edited by F. Pedrocco, Verona 2009, pp. 226-231). We know, therefore, that he was born in Padua around 1671, since the death certificate of 1735 says him to be about sixty-four years old, and that he moved to Udine very early, not yet in his twenties. We then have news of a stay in Venice, having been enrolled in the local Fraglia dei pittori from 1708 to 1715, although by the latter date he was already "out," and since 1712 had been exempt from paying the relevant tax, perhaps because he no longer resided in the city. It is therefore probable that at the age of forty he returned to Udine, where he was protected by Count Leonardo Caiselli, who housed him in his palace in Borgo San Cristoforo, and painted still lifes for his patron and other patrons, as Lanzi again reports: "The family that had him as a guest, has of these delights an entire room; and many possess other houses within and outside Friuli" (L. Lanzi, Storia pittorica... cit., p. 315). His paintings were in Palazzo Giacomelli, Palazzo de' Concina, Villa d'Attimis Maniago in Buttrio, the residence of the Counts Florio, Villa Canciani in Varmo, and Valentinis Castle in Tricesimo, while other works were in the Wram collection in Gorizia and the castle of the Counts Zoppola near Pordenone. Paoletti died in Udine in 1735, as confirmed by documents in the archives of the church of San Cristoforo.

Untitled Still Life with Reclining Nude recto
By Roger Marcel Limouse
Located in Berlin, MD
Roger Marcel Limouse, (Algerian/French 1894 - 1989) Still Life, October 1939, Oil on canvas. Signed upper right and marked Oct 39 on back. Greens, Blues, and Yellow/Browns prevail in this still life of a table with fruits, cake, and a candle. Nude is painted verso on stretched canvas under frame. Frame 24.5 x 28.875 x 1.625, Canvas 21.875 x 23.875
A student of Paul Albert Laurens (1870-1934) at the Académie Julian, his figurative work, very colorful, with powerful and stripped down forms, made him one of the last representatives of Fauvism and the eldest of the group of Painters of Poetic Reality. He belongs to the School of Paris.
In 1943, Jacques de Laprade dedicated a book to Roger Limouse in the collection "The Masters of Tomorrow" directed by Francis Carco. He writes, "One of the characteristics of this personality is strength. There is nothing in Limouse that lacks relief. This small and extremely vigorous man seduces by his direct and dru language, by his deep conviction, by the picturesque of his stories, by his very life which testifies to his energy.
In 1948, Roger Limouse was appointed professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (Professor at the School of Fine Arts). He held this position until 1964. In 1949, the journalist Gisèle d'Assailly (1904-1969) devoted a book "With the Painters of Poetic Reality" to eight friendly painters, supporters of a colorful and intimate figurative painting of French inspiration, Maurice Brianchon, Christian Caillard...
