About the Item

An important and large scale pair of late 18th century Italian Neo-Classical oil on canvas paintings by Teodoro Matteini of Angelica and Medoro. Exceptional execution and detail throughout. Framed in period Neo-Classical giltwood frames with palmettes on each corner amidst berried laurel branches.Angelica and Medoro was a popular theme for Romantic painters, composers and writers from the 16th until the 19th century. Angelica and Medoro are two characters from the 16th-century Italian epic Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto. Angelica was an Asian princess at the court of Charlemagne who fell in love with the Saracen knight Medoro, and eloped with him to China. While in the original work, Orlando was the main character, many adaptations focused purely or mainly on the love between Angelica and Medoro, with the favourite scenes in paintings being Angelica nursing Medoro, and Angelica carving their names into a tree. Teodoro Matteini (Pistoia, 1753 - Venice, 1831) was an Italian painter, mainly of historical subjects in the Neoclassical style. His father, Ippolito Matteini, born 1720, was a decorative painter and was a teacher of design in Pistoia. Under the patronage of Domenico Corvi. Matteini moved to Rome to work with Anton Raphael Mengs, until he established his own studio. He painted in Rome for San Lorenzo in Lucina. He was active in Bergamo, Milan, and Venice. In 1802 Venice he was elected professor of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. Matteini was able to restore to the Academy a large collection of stucco and terracotta models collected by Abbot Filippo Farsetti. He is best known for his many pupils, including Giovanni Andrea Darif of Udine, Bartolomeo Ferracina of Bassano, Giovanni Busato of Vicenza, Murari of Florence, Sebastiano Santi of Murano, Francesco Hayez and Cosroe Dusi of Venice, Giovanni De Min of Belluno, Michele Fanolli of Cittadella, and Lodovico Lipparini of Bologna. Among his masterworks are paintings of Angelica and Medoro.
