Girolamo Troppa Art
Italian, 1636-1710
Girolamo Troppa (Rocchette in Sabina, 2 ottobre 1636 – Terni, Ottobre 1711) è stato un pittore italiano. Girolamo Troppa è un pittore del Seicento, presente nella scena artistica romana e del centro Italia, con moltissime opere sparse per chiese e musei nel territorio nazionale, in Europa e in America. Un artista versatile e un personaggio estroso, eclettico, geniale, ma anche focoso e passionale, dalle caratteristiche particolari, tali da potersi adattare a vari contesti, ma senza perdere la sua predominante. Frequenta a Roma, nella prima giovinezza, botteghe di pittura minori dove impara l'arte del disegno per poi divenire alunno di importanti e celebri artisti come Mario Nuzzi (Mario dei Fiori), Lazzaro Baldi e Andrea Sacchi e forse anche Pier Francesco Mola (anche se non è presente nessuna conferma documentata). Frequenta studiando, l'Accademia di S. Luca a partire dal 1664, dove subì innegabilmente l’influsso del grande pittore Carlo Maratta che in quel periodo dirigeva l’Accademia, fin dai primi esordi, dimostrò ampiamente il suo talento e con il passare gli anni diviene un artista affermato e ricercato.
In qualche occasione collabora con Giovan Battista Gaulli detto Baciccio, (con il quale nel 1665 si scontra anche fisicamente a causa di alcune ciarle, riportandone una ferita in volto), ma sviluppa un suo modo caratteristico di dipingere personalizzando le varie componenti della pittura tardo-barocca romana. Ottiene verso il 1685 la Croce di Cavaliere) per l'elevato numero di opere prodotte, collegate alla Chiesa e al Papato. Si sposa due volte (1656 e 1685) e genera quattro figli dalla prima unione con Maddalena Elisabetta De Stefani e ancora quattro dalla successiva con Anna Maffei avvenuta dopo sei anni dalla scomparsa della prima moglie. Quasi cinquantenne abbandona la residenza romana ed il relativo periodo pieno di soddisfazioni, ma anche denso di vicende spiacevoli (liti e guai giudiziari spesso conseguenti ad episodi legati al comportamento della prima moglie), per stabilirsi presso la casa che edifica a Rocchette in Sabina, suo paese natale, dove si integra e ricopre cariche di Consigliere Comunale e Priore della Confraternita del Santissimo Sacramento, qui istituisce una fiorente bottega, disseminando di tele e pitture murali il reatino e la vicina Umbria, ma anche la stessa Chiesa Parrocchiale (dopo aver partecipato attivamente alla sua ricostruzione[5] collaborando con l'amico architetto scultore Miche Valsangiacomo Chiesa). Fu pittore apprezzato dal duca Federico Sforza Cesarini che gli commissionò numerose opere.
Trascorre gli ultimi anni della sua esistenza a Rocchette, dipingendo e suonando il cembalo, lasciando la sua casa in rare occasioni, ed è proprio in una queste, nell'ottobre del 1711, che il pittore settantacinquenne muore in circostanze improvvise a Terni, dove viene sepolto. Purtroppo la chiesa annessa al monastero di S.Procolo[6]), dove riposavano le sue spoglie mortali, oggi è del tutto scomparsa in seguito ai bombardamenti della città nel corso dell'ultimo conflitto mondiale.(Biography provided by Arté Gallery SA)

Even if on the background there is an attribution to “Francesco Gessi pupil of Guido Reni” by the bolognese art historian Guido Zucchini (dated 1945), recent studies are tending to add it to the corpus of Girolamo Negri called Il Boccia (Bologna 1648-1718) due to lots of similarities with his style (the pale and warm palette chosen, the profile)

Roman Baroque Painting 17 century oil canvas
Located in Florence, IT
The painting represents the moment of the death of Lucretia, a Roman noblewoman who was raped by the seventh and last King of Rome-the Etruscan Tarquin the Proud-and committed suicide-in front of her husband and her father-because she couldn’t stand the violence she passed through. According to the legend, this episode caused the rebellion that overthrew the Roman monarchy and led to the transition of Roman government from a kingdom to a republic.
The scene is entirely dominated by the figure of the lady, emerging from a dark background in contrast with the brightness of her skin and of the colors of her dress. The torments and agony are intensively expressed by her glance, capable of creating a strong empathizing. The shiny white skin and the pearls (symbol of virginity) in her hair are an allegory of her purity, while the red tablecloth seems predicting the violent end. The painting is characterized by lots of exquisite details (like the richly decorated knob of the knife, the ribbon that tie up the purple curtains...
