19th Century Four Italian Oil on Panel with Allegory of the Four Elements

About the Item

19th century four Italian oil on panel with allegory of the four elements Dimensions with frame: cm H 34.5 x L 25; only the table: cm H 29 x L 20.5 The funny oil on panel, by an artist active in Piedmont, in the north of Ital, in the first half of the 19th century, represent the allegory of the four elements of the Earth. They are inspired by the group of four etching prints of circa 1730, made to a design by Rococo painter Jacopo Amigoni (Naples 1682- Paris 1752) and engraved in Venice by Joseph Wagner (Gestratz, 1706 – Venice, 1780). Each painting represents the allegory of an element: the earth, the fire, the water and the air. The land is represented by a young couple in a rural environment; the young man, accompanied by a dog, offers a bouquet of flowers to the girl. The fire is represented by a burning building from which flees the couple who were preparing for a picnic, as suggested by the wicker basket with pottery that the boy supports. The element of water is remembered by fishing: while a young woman is busy fishing, a boy gives her a gift of fish caught with a net. The air is symbolically remembered by the flight of birds: in the painting you see a young man on a ladder resting on a tree takes a bird and gently hands it to the girl, ready to welcome him in the fabric of her dress. The four paintings reproduce the archaic taste widespread in the eighteenth century, in which the classic and simple pastoral poetry was celebrated, through the recovery of the myth of Arcadia. The Earth becomes a source of peace and serenity, a place of the soul, in which man lives in perfect harmony with Nature. The world of contemporary living rooms moves into small woods and rural environments, set by shepherds and shepherds. The works, in a good state of conservation, are characterized by a marked decoration and pleasantness of the subject. Articles accompanied by a "Certificate of Authenticity".

17th Century, Flemish Painting Oil on Copper with Allegory by Pieter Van Lint

By Peter Van Lint

Located in IT

Pieter Van Lint (Antwerp, 1609-1690) Allegory of industriousness leading to peace and abundance Oil on copper; frame measures cm H 132 x W 159 x D 8, copper measures cm H 104 x W 130 Artwork signed (bottom center) "P.V. Lint F./ en A.B" The important and valuable painting, made of oil on copper, depicts the Allegory of industriousness that leads to peace and abundance. The work is signed in the bottom and center "P V Lint", or Pieter Van Lint (Antwerp, 28 June 1609 - Antwerp, 25 September 1690), famous Flemish painter and designer active in Antwerp in the second half of the seventeenth century. Van Lint elaborates a complex and articulated composition in which he inserts several figures also drawn from mythology to propose the allegorical message of industriousness that leads to peace and abundance. The artistic style of the author is characterized by meticulous realism and by the careful attention to detail and the rendering of the materials that make up the objects described. As we will see later, every detail represented within the work contains a symbolic and allegorical meaning that reinforces the message that already the same figures express. The remarkable dimensions of the copper support, not so infrequent in the artistic production of the artist, contribute to make the work of great value: Unfortunately, many of these artifacts have been lost because copper was often recovered in times of war and famine, and reused to obtain weapons and common tools. The copper foil proved to be ideal for oil painting because it constituted a non-absorbent support, rigid, smooth and characterized by the same reddish coloring that was used for the preparation of funds. The major production centers were Antwerp, Hamburg and Amsterdam, although the technique was widely used in Italy. The considerable cost of the material indicates a wealthy client, interested in possessing a valuable and durable work over time, this characteristic that the metal foil has more than the canvas. The painting is known to scholars. It is recorded in the catalog of the artist of the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History (with measures 104 x 129 cm). He also appeared on the French antiques market...
