About the Item

Paolo Paoletti (Padua, 1671 - Udine, 1735) Still Life with Fruits on a Shelf Oil on canvas, 53.5 x 81 cm Expert opinion Dr. Gianluca Bocchi The still life in question is referable to the hand of Paolo Paoletti (1671 - 1735). Born in Padua, but settled in Udine when he was not yet twenty, the artist was hosted here for many years at the Caiselli counts, in whose palace an entire room was decorated with his works. Between 1708 and 1715 he appears in the Fraglia dei pittori di Venezia, for which he paid the registration in 1712. The stay in Venice was of a certain importance for his artistic maturation, since he was able to frequent the stimulating international circles of the Lagoon. His allegories of the seasons and still lifes were mostly intended for the wall decorations of Friulian stately homes among which the Attimis, the Concina, the Giacomelli, the Morelli de Rossi, the del Torso and the Valentinis are mentioned. These compositions mainly depicting edible kinds such as vegetables, fruit, meats and cheeses were often enriched with flowers and sometimes framed by architectural backdrops or landscape backgrounds. The marked descriptive taste that characterizes them is similar to that of the samples of Bartolomeo Bimbi (Settignano, 1648 - Florence, 1729), while to the knowledge of the works of Marchioni (Rovigo, XVII century - XVIII century), of Biggi (Parma, 1650 - Verona, about 1700) and the Flemish inserts must be attributed to the inserts with vases of flowers and game, represented by the painter with the precision of an acute and diligent chronicler. Flattering is the quotation from Luigi Lanzi about his painting: «he is especially distinguished in flowers: and with great truth he portrayed fruits, herbs, fish, caciaggioni». meats and cheeses were often enriched with flowers and sometimes framed by architectural backdrops or landscape backgrounds.

Flattering is the quotation from Luigi Lanzi about his painting: «he is especially distinguished in flowers: and with great truth he portrayed fruits, herbs, fish, caciaggioni». The refined compositional scheme with which the fruits of the still life examined here are described and ordered is characterized by a diffused and gradual brightness in the passages to the shaded areas. From a dark and uniform background emerge clusters of grapes meticulously described in the individual berries, a watermelon cut in half flanked by oranges and plums, and a plate of apples. Bright highlights are reflected on the peels of the fruits and on the plate resting on the elegant balustrade which forms the support surface of the refined composition. For comparison, see some of the author's works presented on the market, where among the jubilation of fruit and flowers the watermelon depicted in foreshortening and characterized by the juicy red pulp scattered by small dark seeds still stands out.
