About the Item

Erasmus Quellinus The Continence of Scipio Oil on Canvas The painting is included in the Catalogue Raisonné of the artist. The Roman commander Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (236-183 BC) succeeded in taking Carthage Nova. During the conquest of Carthaginian bases in Spain, many hostages of Celtiberian origin fell into the hands of the Romans. Allucius and his fiancée were among them, but thanks to the generosity of Scipio they were given their freedom. (Report by Titus Livius (59 B.C.-17 A.D.)) Dr. De Bruyn, author of the catalogue raisonné of Erasmus Quellinus and expert on Flemish Baroque painting, confirmed the attribution of the painting to Erasmus Quellinus. He describes the work as "of very good quality and... in perfect condition." According to Dr De Bruyn, the present painting can be dated to circa 1645. It is characterised by his typical classical Baroque style. The Continence of Scipio, Old Master, 17th Century, By Quellinus, Circle of Rubens, Antwerp, Historical Scene

    Oil on canvas, 62 x 51 cm (without the frame) 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) The painting represents a lady on profile wearing a brown turban, a yellow clock...
