17th - 18th Century Portrait of Guy Painting Oil on Canvas by Area of Amorosi
About the Item
Circle of Antonio Amorosi (Comunanza, 1660 - Rome, 1738)
Portrait of young people
Oil on canvas, 87 x 67 cm
The painting depicting this portrait was made by an artist active in the workshop of Antonio Mercurio Amorosi (1660-1738), undoubtedly reflecting a realism of Caravaggesque origin, but also evident affinities with Lombard naturalism and its Nordic influences. In the portrait examined there are also similarities with the works of Giacomo Francesco Cipper known as Todeschini, given the bambocciante character of the images, which Il Cipper, like Monsù Bernardo, offered in their descriptions of the humble, conditioned by a literary vein. It is a trend that characterized a preponderant part of eighteenth-century Italian art, just think of Giacomo Ceruti known as Pittocchetto or Gaspare Traversi, who produced works in which the comic tradition and the social analysis reached results of extraordinary artistic validity. A pupil of Giuseppe Ghezzi, Amorosi worked mainly in Rome, dedicating himself to both religious painting (altarpieces for S. Rocco, S. Maria in Cosmedin) and genre painting. Amorosi's greatest fame is linked precisely to his “bambocciate” paintings: paintings of different formats and simple popular subjects, highly appreciated by contemporaries. Of this production, preserved in museums and private collections in Europe and still little known, we can particularly mention: the Peasant with the nest and the Peasant girl with the chick in the Devonshire collection in London, the Boy with a bunch of grapes in the Schleissheim Gallery , the Young man with the chalice, the Young painter and some paintings in the Municipal Art Gallery of Deruta, from the collection of the historian Lione Pascoli. The latter are useful for a comparison with the canvases examined, as well as the different versions of Young with a pitcher, now in private collections.
Lucid and direct is the pauperistic portraiture whose skills of introspection and analysis of the characters are applied here in the rendering of the protagonist. The young man is investigated with frankness and truth, highlighting, in line with the works of the master, a completely new understanding devoid of moralisms towards the marginalized reality of the poorest. Numerous details and details enrich the analyzed canvas, the creased clothes, the reddened cheeks and the objects that make up the surrounding environment enrich the narration of the character, caught in the unfolding of daily actions. The man looks towards the viewer, with a sympathetic gaze, as if he had just been called.

- 17th Century Still Life Painting Oil on Canvas Area of RuoppoloBy Giovan Battista RuoppoloLocated in Milan, ITArea of ??Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo (Naples, 1629 - 1697) Still life with fruit and little bird Measures: Oil on canvas, 62 x 83 cm The still life in question shows juicy citrus fruits, among which we can recognize oranges and cedars, together with red berries scattered on the ground. A cheerful little bird rests on the edge of a terracotta pot in which some pink-mottled carnations grow. The landscape that can be observed all around is veiled by clouds and shaded by shrubs, while in the distance there is a green hill. Dominating the foreground and standing out from the dark background is the fruit which, lush and juicy, stands out in the vivacity of the colors in contrast with the dark background. The full-bodied brushstroke that delineates the wrinkled peel of citrus fruits to restore the realism of the fruit, just as the green leaves of the stems softly folded on themselves are sketched with extreme truthfulness, they ascribe the work to a painter working in the circle of Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo. Ruoppolo is a Neapolitan artist, specialized in the genre of still life, indeed De Dominici himself in his Lives of Neapolitan painters, sculptors and architects recognizes him a primary role in the Neapolitan school of the genre. He studied, together with Giuseppe Recco (1634 -?), In the workshop of Paolo Porpora (1617 - 1673). He painted almost exclusively fruit and flower paintings...Category
