About the Item
Italian painting from 1600 Banquet with Figures Memento Mori by Giovanni Martinelli, titled Death Comes to the Banquet Table, vanitas circa 1635. The oil-on-canvas painting is inspired by the most famous work of the Tuscan painter from Montevarchi, Giovanni Martinelli 1600-1659, also known as Giovanni da Montevarchi, now on display at the New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana, USA.
The macabre banquet portrays four characters elegantly dressed seated around a table with white tablecloth set with pewter plates and risers with pear and plum fruit and glasses. The convivial atmosphere of this vanitas is suddenly disturbed by a presence toward which all the diners' attentions converge: death. Depicted on the right side of the composition by a skeleton holding a cartouche with the inscription est hora appears to address the figure on the right.
The painting comes from a private collection in Lombardy, was restored in the 1990s and is in good condition. It dates from the second half of the 1600s and has a modern oak frame with gold outline with a brass plaque attributing it to Charles Cane.
