About the Item

Emilian school, 18th century Pair of live natures with birds Oil on canvas, 28 x 30 cm Framed, 37 x 38.5 cm The northern Italian school of painting developed, as early as the 16th century, a particular predilection for a naturamortism that investigated with vividness and virtuosity the subjects traditionally invalidated in the drawing repertoire; live natures of animals thus presented, in preference, creatures of the undergrowth, farmyard and pastoral. The tactile workmanship of the pictorial material had encouraged an increasing predilection for alignment with trends then emanating from Flemish countries; these characteristics can be seen in the present pair of still lifes with birds, produced in the Emilia area in the first decades of the 18th century. In this beautiful pair of animal paintings, a contingent of small birds is presented according to paradigms of vivid realism. The figures, rendered through rapid brushstrokes, are distinguished by a marked dynamism, further emphasized by accentuated luministic touches. The works show similarities with the main proponents of the natura viva genre between Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna in the first half of the eighteenth century, Angelo Maria Crivelli known as Crivellone, Giovanni Crivelli, his son, and Giorgio Duranti. Angelo Maria Crivelli, better known as the Crivellone, and his son Giovanni Crivelli, known as the Crivellino, were two significant figures in the Lombard artistic scene between the 17th and 18th centuries, distinguishing themselves in particular for their skill in painting animals and hunting scenes. Angelo Maria Crivelli (c. 1660-after 1730) was the progenitor of this artistic dynasty. Influenced by artists such as the Flemish Rubens and Snyders and the Neapolitan Ruoppolo, he learned the vividness and naturalism typical of animalistic painting of the time. His production is characterized by the expressive power and detailed rendering of animal figures, often set in vibrant landscapes. He was highly regarded for his ability to capture the wild essence and vitality of animals, making him a painter in demand by the courts and aristocracy of his time, eager to decorate their residences with hunting scenes and nature-related subjects. Giovanni Crivelli (1691 - 1749) followed in his father's footsteps, inheriting and developing his father's style. The nickname "the Crivellino" suggests continuity, but also a possible stylistic distinction, perhaps more minute or refined than his father. He continued the family tradition in painting animals, hunting, and still lifes, often collaborating with other artists on human figures or landscapes. His work fits fully into the late Baroque and Rococo taste, with a predilection for more airy compositions and lighter colors than his father's darker, more dramatic palette. Giorgio Duranti (Brescia, 1683 - Palazzolo sull'Oglio, 1768) was an Italian painter, active in the Baroque period, known mainly for his still lifes and, in particular, his painting of animals. Duranti specialized in depicting birds of all species, often depicting them alive and outdoors, with a particular focus on the relationship between stillness and movement. His works, often characterized by stormy backdrops, show remarkable expressive power and detailed rendering of animal figures, so much so that he became a master of 18th-century animal painting. Many of his works, especially still lifes of flowers, were donated to the church in Palazzolo sull'Oglio and some were sold to the Spanish royal court. His artistic output, largely preserved in Brescia and province, also included collaborations with other artists to create landscapes or human figures in his compositions.
