About the Item
18th Century, Painting with Architectural Capriccio with figures, attributed to Isaac De Moucheron
Measures: canvas cm H 108 x L 152; with frame cm H 132 x L 176 x 8
The painting is a significant example of architectural whim (that is, architectures or parts of them imaginative and fantasy) set in the Roman surroundings, where sumptuous architectures (with arches, columns, capitals and balustrades) stand out in the foreground of classical inspiration, modified by baroque elements, and in turn surrounded by an imposing ancient aqueduct in partial ruin which, gradually losing itself in the background, gives the painting a set of effective depth.
In detail, the composition represents a large space, in front and surrounded by imposing structures, where some aristocratic characters entertain in pleasant conversation in a serene and relaxed context of normal everyday life (see the two noblewomen with poodle). There are subjects of lower social background, intent on material occupations. A large drape is suspended between the columns to create a space more reserved for the refreshment of noble visitors. The architectures are outlined with skill and undoubted knowledge of perspectives; the light that radiates between the arches and the columns determines effective chiaroscuro games. The color palette gives preference to light shades with dense but at the same time fluid and delicate brushstrokes on a surface made uniform by careful preparation of the substrate. The figures are rendered naturally, finished in detail, as the delicate texture of lace and lace of noblewomen.
The work is attributed to Isaac De Moucheron (Amsterdam 1667/70-1744), painter, engraver, architect, Dutch by birth but of French origin. The artist specialized in views and landscapes often characterized by complex classical and baroque architecture, made on the models designed during his youth stay in Rome and set in a naturalistic context with archaic trend characterized by intense brightness and sought colorism on the example of the contemporary and compatriot Gaspar Van Wittel and the French Gaspar Dughet.
The stylistic comparison with other signed paintings of the author allow to refer the painting to De Moucheron, placing the painting at the period of maturity of the author, when to the mannerism of the landscape, typical of the dominant Romantic naturism, the artist develops a specific originality.
The work is accompanied by authentic Cesare Lampronti.

18th Cent., Italian Painting, Loth and the daughters, att. to Giuseppe Gambarini

Loth and the daughters
Oil on canvas; Measurements: cm H 73 x W 93; frame H 88 x W 108 x D 5,5
The painting, of beautiful pictorial quality, depicts the biblical scene of Lot and his daughters, with Sodom set on fire in the background, and is stylistically attributable to the italian painter Giuseppe Gambarini (Italy, Bologna, 17 March 1680 - Casalecchio di Reno, 11 September 1725).
The canvas shows in the center Lot sitting and already drunk, depicted according to traditional iconography, old, gray and with long gray boat. With his left hand he grabs the wine flask that one of his daughters offers him. She is depicted kneeling and resting on large boulders of stone, described as an architectural base, dressed in a voluminous deep blue mantle, her hair covered with a humble headdress made of a knotted cloth; look at the viewer, as if to want to involve him directly in the scene. The other daughter is described on the left, from the back to the observer, with a bare back and dark hair gathered by a red ribbon. She too is intent on serving her father a cup in which to pour the wine. Around them a duck placed on a cloth, some bread and another wine flask enrich the composition describing a banquet in progress. The scene is set outdoors, where only a large tent supported by branches arranged in a hut serves as a shelter to the figures. In the background a forest landscape blends chromatically with the blue sky. To the right in the distance, is described the city of Sodom, already destroyed and on fire. Lot’s wife...
