Patrick Pietropoli Portrait Paintings

American

Patrick Pietropoli captures the opulence of lavish interior spaces, the gritty hustle of metropolitan urban life and the quiet of solitude with equal skill and artistry. Each of his original paintings offers a scene that brings the viewer into an intimate moment. Pietropoli masterfully evokes a mood on the canvas — whether silent serenity, irritable angst or bright optimism — forming an emotional connection between the artist, the viewer and the subject.

Born in Paris in 1953, Pietropoli developed a love for art in his childhood, as he spent hours drawing and made frequent visits to museums with his grandfather. In 1978, he received a master’s degree in ancient history from François-Rabelais University. 

After graduating, he worked as a history teacher while using his free time to paint and sculpt. In 1983, he had his first solo exhibition in the Galerie Véro-Dodat in Paris, followed by solo shows at the Galerie Michel Ozenne in Paris and the Galerie 31 in Lille, France.

In 1986, Pietropoli quit his teaching job and devoted himself fully to painting and sculpture. From 1986 to 1989, he worked on a sculpture commissioned by the Mutuality of Pas-de-Calais. He also exhibited his art extensively in Paris and around France.

In 2001, he began to exhibit around the United States — including shows in New York, Miami and Chicago — and across Europe. In 2008, Pietropoli moved to New York City, where he continues to live and work.

Madonna and Child in the Spanish Colonial Taste, Oil on Copper

Located in Genève, GE

Dimension with frame: 35 x 29,7 x 3,3 cm. A finely executed miniature devotional painting depicting the Madonna tenderly embracing the Christ Child. Executed in oil on copper and dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, the composition displays the intimate scale and luminous surface characteristic of copper paintings. The Virgin is shown wearing a deep blue mantle highlighted with delicate gilded details and crowned by a circle of stars, while the Christ Child rests affectionately in her arms. The work reflects the enduring influence of Baroque religious imagery and evokes the devotional paintings produced throughout the Spanish world during the colonial period, while remaining firmly rooted in the broader Continental European tradition. Its small scale, refined execution, and warm devotional character make it an appealing collector's piece. The painting is presented in an impressive carved and ebonized wooden frame that beautifully complements the richness of the composition. A charming example of late 18th-century religious art, combining devotional intimacy, Baroque sensibility, and the luminous qualities unique to oil on copper. madonna and child, virgin mary, christ child, oil on copper, copper painting, religious painting, devotional painting, catholic art, christian art, sacred art, baroque religious art, baroque devotional painting, continental european school, spanish colonial taste, spanish colonial influence, antique religious artwork, ecclesiastical art, crowned madonna, star crown madonna, virgin and child, christian iconography, late 18th century painting, circa 1800, antique oil on copper, miniature painting, devotional icon, old master style, european religious art, framed religious painting...

Flower Garland Surrounding the Virgin and Child with Saint Dominic, Unsigned

By Frans Francken II

Located in brussel, BE

Flower Garland Surrounding the Virgin and Child, after Jan Brueghel the Elder (flowers), Circle of Frans Francken II (figures), Antwerp, circa 1615–1625, Oil on copper This finely executed garland painting on copper belongs to the Antwerp tradition of collaborative devotional cabinet pictures developed in the early seventeenth century. The meticulously rendered floral wreath may be associated with the circle of Jan Brueghel the Elder, while the central figures are attributable to the circle of Frans Francken II. The copper support, favored for high-quality works of this type, provides an exceptionally smooth surface that permits minute precision of detail and preserves the jewel-like luminosity of the colours. Set against a dark, subtly modulated background, the oval garland appears to float freely within the pictorial field, leaving the corners and margins open and lending the composition an airy sense of balance. The wreath is constructed from a carefully orchestrated rhythm of large, voluminous blossoms—roses in varying hues, carnations, anemones, and marigolds—interwoven with a profusion of smaller flowers, leaves, and stems. Each bloom is individually characterized, displaying botanical precision, crisp highlights, and delicate tonal transitions consistent with early seventeenth-century Flemish flower painting...
