Antonio Travi Paintings

1608-1665
Antonio Travi (Sestri Ponente, 1608 - Genoa, 10 February 1665) was an Italian painter. He was born in Sestri Ponente near Genoa in 1608, from a poor family and unable to support him in his studies. Despite his indigence, he managed to carry out an apprenticeship with the painter Bernardo Strozzi. He painted the Mystical Marriage of Santa Caterina for the church of Santa Caterina in Sestri Ponente, which remained his only altarpiece, however of a modest level. The turning point that gave it a certain grandeur was the choice of the landscape genre. Before 1630 Gottfried Wals of Cologne had been hosted by Strozzi and, from the example he had received from this contact, Travi discovered his true vocation, becoming a landscape painter. His life does not have exceptional events, and it takes place in seclusion. In 1658 Travi married Antonietta Briani in a second marriage, celebrated in the parish church of Sestri Ponente. In 1665 the painter died. He had therefore learned the genre that makes him important from a Flemish. The Italianized Nordic painters came to Italy to go to Rome or Naples, and were often passing through Genoa, or always on the road they were welcomed by Cosimo II de 'Medici in Florence. They carried on their type of landscape made up of elements taken from life, which is no longer the true lenticular of the ancient Flemings of a century or two before, with a display of precious details, but a truly random and photogrammatic spread following Caravaggism.

The Triumph of the Infant Bacchus, workshop of H. Van Balen, 16th c. Antwerp

By Hendrick van Balen

Located in PARIS, FR

The Triumph of the Infant Bacchus, Workshop of Hendrick Van Balen (1575-1632) Antwerp, c.1630 Oil on copper, h. 28 cm (11.02 in), w. 35 cm (13.78 in) A large Roman 17th century golden painted frame Framed: h. 52 cm (20.47 in.), w. 58 cm (22.83 in) This artwork is sold with a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing its origin, date of execution, and attribution to the artist. Our finely painted work depicts The Triumph of the Bacchus as a young boy and is one of the most popular mythological subjects in Antwerp at the beginning of the 17th century. Feasting, wine and fun are the themes that constantly appeal to the public. Thus unfolds before our eyes on our painting the procession composed of nymphs, baccantes, fauns, satyrs and children, their bodies naked, partially covered with brightly coloured draperies that help to brighten up the parade. Playing various instruments, dancing and drinking, while carrying vases and poles adorned with grapevines, participants to the rhythm of a noisy brass band make their way to an ancient temple standing on the right. The exaggerated gestures convey to us the frenzy of the excited crowd. The Child Bacchus follows the joyous procession, carried by satyrs and nymphs, crowned with ivy and joyfully raising a cup of wine. In the foreground, the drunken participants leave the procession, the children on the left and the group of bacchantes and satyrs on the right are resting among various objects scattered at their feet: cups, vases, ewers bear witness to the festivities in progress. In the background, a hilly landscape stretches out on the horizon, a semblance of calm that contrasts with the bustle of the foreground. The artist strives to multiply the many details, whether it be figures, costumes, flowers or vegetation, in order to demonstrate his know-how and the perfection of his execution. The acidulous palette with fresh and varied colours is characteristic of Hendrick Van Balen's works. There are several versions identical to ours with similar dimensions painted by Hendrick Van Balen and his workshop.

He often painted small figures taken from scenes from the Bible or classical mythology, on paintings whose backgrounds and landscapes were painted by Josse de Momper...
