About the Item

Scuola emiliana, XVII secolo Evangelists (4) oval oil on copper, 9 x 11.5 cm Framed, 12.5 x 15 cm The four small copper ovals presented here depict the four evangelists Mark, Matthew, and John intent on writing the Gospels while St. Luke is depicted with a brush and palette, as he is considered the patron saint of artists and painters in particular, as he was the first to paint Marian representations that would later be imitated by the first schools of sacred art in the city of Rome; he is also the only one to look upward, as if seeking inspiration for the work he is painting. Other attributes that appear are the lion of St. Mark and the eagle of St. John while St. Matthew is characterized by nothing but the scriptures he is working on. The dull, gray background, the metallic colors of the robes draped in stiff folds sculpted by deep chiaroscuro, and the same half-length cut of the evangelists are reminiscent of the series created by Guido Reni in 1620-1621, now housed at BobJones University, South Carolina. Although the poses and faces are not taken slavishly, the inspiration that the four ovals draw from Reni's lesson is evident, considering also the success that the painter had among his contemporaries and toward seventeenth-century artists, many of whom studied and drew models from his works, among which the series of the four evangelists is considered one of the masterpieces of his maturity. Having thus identified the Emilian derivation of these figures, we can also frame the period with the first half, or a little beyond, of the 17th century, that is, in the midst of the Baroque period, as, moreover, also revealed by the coeval frames and the oval shape, which was very widespread and used both in architecture and in the decorative arts during the 17th century. The light tones and fluidity of drafting found in Reni are here enhanced by the copper support, which is able to give more body and tone to the pictorial medium.
