About the Item
The deposition of Atala
Follower of Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson (Montargis, 1767 - Paris, 1824)
19th-20th century
Oil on canvas
47 x 65 cm. - Framed 67 x 84 cm
The proposed painting is inspired by the painting 'Atala at the sepulchre', a pivotal work of the French pre-romantic current, which unites in the same canvas the themes of sacrifice and death in a moving scene, by the painter Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson.
A favourite pupil of Jean-Louis David, from whom he inherited a formal neoclassical language, he presented this painting, considered to be among his best creations, at the Paris Salon in 1808, and today it is exhibited in the Louvre Museum.
The Entombment of Atala
1808
Oil on canvas, 207 x 267 cm
Musée du Louvre, Paris
The subject is taken from the novel by François-René de Chateaubriand - a writer considered to be the founder of French literary Romanticism - which tells of the unhappy and ill-fated love of Chactas, a young indigenous man, for the daughter of a Spaniard and an Indian convert to Christianity, the beautiful Atala.
Here the indigenous warrior Chactas weeps clutching the legs of his beloved, the Native American convert to Christianity Atala, who belongs to a rival tribe. Although the two have managed to flee their respective families in pursuit of their love, Atala is bound from birth by a vow of chastity, and prefers to ingest poison, which soon leads to her death, in order not to give in to the temptation of love for Chactas.

- Portrait Paint Oil on canvas Old master 16/17th Century Italian Raffaello ArtLocated in Riva del Garda, ITTuscan painter active towards the end of the 16th century Portrait of Captain Niccolò Orsini (Pitigliano, 1442 - Lonigo, 1510), count of Pitigliano and Nola. Tuscany, end of the 16th century Oil on canvas, 64 x 47 cm., Framed 89 x 73 cm. The portrait we present to you shows the effigy of a vigorous high-ranking male figure in armor, in the most typical Renaissance pose, half-length and taken in profile, with his face and gaze turned to the side; the serious and intense expression and the facial features evoke at first glance the portraiture of early Florentine mannerism. He is Niccolò III Orsini (Pitigliano, 1442 - Lonigo, 1510), count of Pitigliano and Nola and son of Aldobrandino Orsini, famous leader and captain (or capitano di ventura) who lived between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, who served for the state Pontifical in Naples and Florence and above all for the Republic of Venice. Portraiture with these characters, which derives from ancient coinage, was used in the sixteenth century in the sequences of Portraits of Illustrious Men, both in painting and in sculpture. The profile portrait was in fact a genre reserved, according to the Renaissance tradition, for celebrations, presenting those characteristics of imperturbability typical of the military role covered. Our painting is a work created by an author active in Tuscany towards the end of the sixteenth century, adhering to those pictorial styles made famous by the portraitist Cristofano di Papi dell'Altissimo (1530-1605), a pupil of Bronzino and then of Pontormo, known for having created a collection of about 500 portraits of illustrious men, known as the 'Gioviana Series' (now in the Uffizi Gallery); and among these it is possible to identify one dedicated to Niccolò Orsini. Our painting is inspired, in particular, by a print taken from the collection of prints...Category

- Emperors Caesar Octavian Tiziano Paint Oil on canvas Old master 17/18th CenturyBy Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)Located in Riva del Garda, ITTiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576) follower of Portrait of the emperor Julius Caesar (Rome 100 BC - 44 BC), inscribed above C. IVLIVS. CAESAR Portrait of the Emperor Octavian Augustus (Rome 63 BC - 14 BC), inscribed on top OCTAVIANUS II ROM IMP 17th century oil painting on canvas Measurements (cm.): 65 x 50, with frame 81 x 68 cm. The Latin writer Suetonius with his work 'De vita Caesarum' (and in particular with his tradition in the vernacular of 1543, edited by the Florentine scholar Paolo del Rosso) inspired Tiziano Vecellio who, in 1537, painted for Duke Frederick II of Gonzaga portraits of the eleven emperors, adorning the walls for a small room in the Palazzo Ducale in Mantua, later known as the Cabinet of the Caesars. These effigies were intended to establish the link between the new era and classicism with its splendor, as well as to celebrate the value and wisdom of the rulers, who perceived themselves, in their lordships, as valiant new emperors. Titian's paintings soon became enormously popular and many patrons and lords of the time, including Ferdinando d'Avalos, Marquis of Pescara and Governor of Milan or Vespasiano Gonzaga, turned to the workshop of the Cremonese Bernardino Campi...Category

Edmond Hoyle Edmond Hoyle English card game authority, "the Father of whist" Born 1672 England Died 29 August 1769 (aged 96–97) London, England Edmond Hoyle (1672 – 29 August 1769)[1] was a writer best known for his works on the rules and play of card games. The phrase "according to Hoyle" came into the language as a reflection of his generally perceived authority on the subject James Latham James Latham was born in Thurles, County Tipperary, Ireland and possibly related to the family of Lathams of Meldrum and Ballysheehan. After some practice of his art, Latham studied for an academic year in Antwerp (1724–25) where he became a Master of the Guild of St Luke. He returned to Dublin by 1725, and may have visited England in the 1740s, as the influence of Joseph Highmore, as well as Charles Jervas and William Hogarth, is evident in his work of this period. Anthony Pasquin memorably dubbed Latham "Ireland's Van Dyck". Latham died in Dublin on 26 January 1747. Several of James Latham's portraits are in the National Gallery of Ireland collection in Dublin; one is of the famous MP Charles Tottenham (1694–1758) of New Ross, Co.
