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...

Antonio Bertoli (active between 1829 - 1842) Portraits of women (2) Oil on canvas, 41.5 x 31 cm With frame 52 x 42.5 cm Signed below A. Bertoli The two portraits examined here are by the hand of the artist Antonio Bertoli, a painter active in Florence between 1829 - 1842. He trained at the Florentine Academy, where in 1832 he obtained the prize for the nude in drawing. At the academic exhibitions of the following years he exhibited mainly portraits, including a representation of Nicolò Macchiavelli executed in 1837. An eclectic artist, he experimented with different genres: for the Villa Puccini di Scornio in Pistoia, in 1838, he was commissioned to create a history picture, The death of Francesco Ferrucci (Pistoia, Civic Museum), inspired by an episode of the novel Siege of Florence by Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi. Instead, two religious paintings date back to the 1840s: Christ chasing the merchants from the Temple and a Virgin Mary, In the portraits analyzed Bertoli depicts two half-length women taken from a foreshortening and a frontal in close pose, characterized by very similar Mediterranean features. In the first painting the woman, taken from the front, looks directly at the viewer. The wavy hair is decorated with a colorful violet and is partially covered by a white veil...
