18th Century Parrot with Cherubs and Flowers Painting Oil on Canvas by Reneman

About the Item

I. Reneman (Netherlands, active in the second half of the 18th century) Parrot with cherubs and flowers Oil on canvas, 100.5 x 84.5 cm Signed on the base “I. Reneman fecit " The painting depicts a still life of vivid splendor: within a niche there is a marble sculpture with cherubs and a rooster around which, with extreme grace, plant racemes with violets intersect, following the trend of the arms of the two children. striped tulips, red carnations and various species of roses. Small butterflies fly and rest on the flowers. An elegant parrot then rests next to the base, holding a claw resting on a pomegranate fruit and turning its head back towards the statues. The warning gesture of the standing child, who reaches out towards the bird with his arm pointing upwards, seems to be aimed at the animal, caught in the act while stealing the grains of the fruit with its paws, giving proof of the pictorial inspiration of the artist who infuses the canvas with realism and liveliness. Even the lying putto turns his gaze to the animal, but in a much more placid and almost disinterested attitude than his companion. The pictorial touch and the use of bright colors for the rendering of the flowers, from the intense violet of the violets to the carmine red of the carnations and the pastel shades of the roses, lights up the composition and makes it extremely real and alive. In particular, we note the contrast with the glossy patina that covers the marble sculpture, capable of reflecting the ray of light coming from above and emphasizing the fleshy bodies of the two plump children, the flowers and fruits on the base. Finally, the insertion of the parrot, with the brightly colored mantle, contrasts with the static nature of the two sculptures.
