Jacob De Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754) attributable/ workshop Pair of Cupids with Garland of Flowers Oil on canvas 91 x 103 cm. - Framed 104 x 115 cm. Provenance: Christie's (London, Old master Painting 12.12.1996) lot 82 This magnificent composition depicts two cupids holding a garland of flowers, placed on a fine architecture with bas-reliefs and masks, presumably the top of a fountain. One of the two cupids sympathetically holds a part of it with his hands, while his head turns towards the viewer; the second cupid, on the other hand, must have clumsily broken the thread holding its end, and is sitting sullenly with a torch and a tear streaking his chubby cheek. The work, given its stylistic features and compositional taste, can be attributed to the Flemish artist Jacob de Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754), or to an artist from his workshop, with his typical triumphal and opulent style, which reveals clear influences from Rubens and Van Dijck, but also from Gerard de Lairesse...

Aniello Ascione (Naples, news from 1680 to 1708) Still life with festoon of flowers and fruit Oil painting on canvas, 89 x 117 cm in frame cm 109 x 137 With expertise and attributive study by Prof. Stefano Causa (University of Naples) '' This fruit composition with a festoon of flowers belongs to Aniello Ascione's brush and is a prominent addition to the final game of the Neapolitan still life - the most baroque and decorative one can imagine. The naturalistic work, still Caravaggesque, of the specialists of the early sixteenth century, from Luca Forte to Porpora, now seems a distant memory. The name of Ascione also comes from the comparison with the still life signed by the Civic Museum of Castello Ursini in Catania, against which the painting in question qualifies as a sixteenth version. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for easily repeatable patterns to recur in the workshops of still life painters. The melon on the right, the rush of flowers and, in the background, the profile of a column or a fountain. We could compare them to the normalized formal types used by great southern...
