Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari Art

Italian, 1654-1727
Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari (Rome, 10 March 1654 - Rome, 8 September 1727) was an Italian painter. Favorite pupil of Carlo Maratta, he was one of the most characteristic artists of early 18th century Rome. In the third decade of the century his prestige led him to assume the position of prince of the Academy of San Luca. He worked in Palazzo Barberini (it was Giovan Pietro Bellori who suggested that he take inspiration from the famous Aurora by Guido Reni in the Pallavicini casino), in Palazzo Colonna, in San Silvestro in Capite, in Palazzo Spada. One of his best works is the Adoration of the Magi at the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin. Chiari reached the pinnacle of fame during the pontificate of Clement XI (1700 - 1721): in those years he was joined by the master Carlo Maratta in the preparation of the cartoons for the mosaics of the side naves of St. Peter's Basilica, he was commissioned the oval with the prophet Obadiah for S. Giovanni in Laterano and was commissioned to paint the Glory of San Clemente for the basilica of the same name. An academic artist of good quality, Chiari often used motifs taken from the major exoponents of seventeenth-century classicism, such as Andrea Sacchi, Guido Reni, Carlo Maratta, not disdaining some masters of the Baroque, first of all Pietro da Cortona.

Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari (1654-1727), also known simply as Giuseppe Chiari, was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque period, active mostly in Rome. Born in Rome, he was one of the main assistants, along with Giuseppe Passeri and Andrea Procaccini, in the studio of an elder Carlo Maratta. His father had opposed the career, but his mother, on the recommendation of a painter named Carlo Antonio Gagliani. By the age of 22, he had frescoed the lateral lunettes (Birth of Virgin and Adoration of Magi...

Huge Antique Oil Painting Portrait of Mrs Boone & Daughter after lost original
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
After SIR JOSHUA REYNOLDS (1723 -1792) Portrait of Mrs Boone and her Daughter Oil on Canvas Canvas Size : 55.25 x 43.25 inches (140 x 110 cms) Framed size : 62 x 50 inches (157.5 x 127 cms) Provenance : Private Collection, France This present picture is a good quality copy of a Reynolds original. Copies are notoriously difficult to date, but judging by the style and the materials used it is most probable that we are dealing with a picture painted between 1890 and 1920. The professional standard of the work makes this painting a fine and substantial piece of decoration in the 18th century English manner. But in this case there is more… The Reynolds original was painted around 1774-6 and depicts Harriet Boone, wife of Charles Boone with their daughter, also Harriet – later the wife of Sir William Drummond K.C. This picture was by 1865 in the collection of one T Colleton Garth (a relative of the younger Harriet Boone), who lent it to an exhibition of Old Master pictures at the British Institution in 1865. It was engraved in 1866 by G.H. Emery – presumably after attracting some attention at that exhibition. The painting was then bought from Garth by the dealers Agnew in 1903 and sold the following year in 1904 to the famous Anglo-German diamond magnate Alfred Beit. Two years later in 1906, Beit - who would fill his later years with numerous philanthropic donations in Germany, England and South Africa - gave the Reynolds original of Mrs Boone to the Berlin Gallery...
