About the Item
A pair of Grand Tour style framed watercolour paintings after Michelangelo’s the Hours of the Day and Night.
Both paintings depict angelic figures, one holding her billowing golden wrap, the other holding a tambourine and a gold sceptre in her left hand, both on black backgrounds with complimenting yellow borders.
Exceptionally presented in quality frames, both paintings are an ode to the history of Italian art, whether decorative or collector’s pieces they would make a beautiful addition to period and contemporary settings alike.
Michelangelo’s the Hours of the Day & Night
The pair are after the series titled the 'Hours of the Day and Night’ by historic Italian painter Michelangelo Maestri (1741-1812).
Mainly known for his body colours that he based on the wall frescos in Pompeii, drawings of subjects like these paintings became very popular amongst travellers on their European Grand Tour.
This iconic series refers to the sculptures of ‘Day’ and ‘Night’, or Dawn and Dusk, that Michelangelo handcarved for the Medici Chapel in Florence. The pair depict two reclining figures of the sarcophagi of Giuliano and Lorenzo de Medici.
Michelangelo drew inspiration from renaissance artists such as Giulio Romano (1499-1546) and Raphael Sanzio da Urbino (1483-1520). This series in particular is thought to be based on works by Raphael.
While the picture to the right is thought to be after a 19th century antique titled ‘Angel’ by Luigi Del Buono, who took inspiration from Michelangelos work.
