16th Century Adoration of the Shepherds Painting Oil on Copper by Carnevale

About the Item

Domenico Carnevale (Sassuolo, 1524 - Modena, 1579) Adoration of the Shepherds Oil on copper, 42 x 28 cm Frame 54 x 36 cm Expert opinion of Prof. Emilio Negro The painting represents the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Child in the center, next to the Madonna kneeling in prayer and an angel behind her; towards him in the foreground a woman with a child in her arms, a shepherd with a sheep on the right, a bagpiper on the left and various other male and female characters turn to him. The architectures of the background, between which a glimpse of the landscape can be glimpsed, are hidden in the upper part by the clouds, where a "celestial glory" encamps with three flying angels. The painting shows mannerist characters that can be traced back to the second half of the sixteenth century, and can be traced back to an author from the Modena area, with stylistic references to the Bolognese Samacchini (1532 - 1577) and Passerotti (1529 - 1592). More precisely, it can be attributed to Domenico Carnevale (1524-1579), one of the most important masters of the sixteenth century active in the local area. The Carnival was formed in Emilia, his homeland, where he worked for many years. However, his works also show a clear Roman influence, dictated by a long experience in the city, during which he also dedicated himself to the restoration of the Sistine Chapel. Trained in the late-mannerist environment of Modena, he is also linked to the Parmesan Corrorese and Ferrarese Dossesque tradition; Carnival also always maintains a slight archaic sentiment in his work, The main stylistic reference must be identified in a work similar in subject and iconographic setting, coming from the church of the Pio Istituto Orfanelle di San Geminiano di Modena, currently part of the Art Collection of the Province, attributed to the same influence as the Carnival. Another interesting comparison should be identified with A Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, at the Galleria Estense in Modena.

  • 16th Century Adoration of The Shepherds Painting Oil on Copper
    Located in Milan, IT
    Attr. to Girolamo Siciolante known as da Sermoneta (Sermoneta, 1521 - Rome, 1575) Adoration of the Shepherds Oil on copper, 39 x 29.5 cm Frame 47 x 39 cm The refined taste, the refined poses, the definition of the anatomies, the vibrant light, allow us to identify for this painting the hand of a Mannerist painter active during the sixteenth century. In particular, the composition and stylistic research allow us to attribute the panel to Girolamo Siciolante, known as da Sermoneta (1521 - 1575). His first training took place under the guidance of Leonardo Grazia known as da Pistoia (1502 - 1548). Later he settled in Rome where he was able to see the painting of Raphael and Michelangelo from life and where he was first a pupil and then a collaborator of Perin del Vaga...

  • Large Painting Representing "The Adoration Of The Shepherds", Italy 19th
    Located in VERSAILLES, FR
    Grand et beau tableau, huile sur toile, représentant " L'adoration des Bergers " Ce tableau est une œuvre réalisée au début du XIXème siècle par un peintre non identifié mais très talentueux puisqu'il fallait une certaine maitrise pour s'attaquer à la réalisation d'un tel tableau de si grande taille, encadré par un beau cadre en bois sculpté et doré, italien également. Pour comprendre l'origine de ce tableau il faut remonter au début du XVIIème siècle; en effet, une poignée d’artistes, d’Utrecht aux Pays Bas, arrivèrent à Rome appelés par des commanditaires, très impressionnés par le Caravagisme. Parmi eux se trouvait Gerrit van Honthorst...
