About the Item
Roman School, 17th century
Still Life
Oil on canvas, 79 x 107 cm
Framed, 93 x 121 cm
The work under scrutiny, depicting a majestic still life of flowers, is ascribed to the 17th-century Roman school, within a multifaceted artistic structure composed of many different personalities who dominated the scene, not only from Italy but also from abroad. In the painting one can see fine details and details such as the embossed bronze vase with a classical flavor, the silver plate bordered by tulips, or even the casket on which a smaller flower vase rests. A dark red velvet cloth is laid partially on top of it to create a balanced and harmonious composition in proportion along with the slender-stemmed flowers collected in the amphora. The latter are distinguished by the looseness of the stroke with which the artist paints them: small touches of the brush illuminate the petals of irises, gerberas, mottled tulips, and the foliage glimpsed in the large bouquet. The light, coming from below, illuminates the scene and creates a pleasant play of shadows and lights that are reflected in the metal of the precious vessels, as observed in the tray, part in shadow and part in light. The painting is easily inscribed in the as-yet insufficiently studied circle of Italian and French artists of the mid-17th century, specialists in the genre of still life with ornamental and precious inserts. The floral composition gives prominence to the luxurious oriental carpets and is played with great virtuosity and always accompanied by gold, silver, or bronze furnishings and sometimes by fruits, flowers, or musical instruments. For comparison, see the still life in a private collection or the one preserved in the BBVA fund in Spain by Jacques Hupin, a French painter active in the mid-17th century in both France and Italy, where he is documented in 1649. Hupin's known paintings depict goldsmithing pieces placed on entablatures covered with heavy carpets with a dark red background. The carpet theme also brings him close to Meiffren Conte and coeval painters active in Bergamo, such as Evaristo Baschenis and Bartolomeo Bettera.

17th Century Still Life Painting Oil on Canvas Area of Ruoppolo
By Giovan Battista Ruoppolo
Located in Milan, IT
Area of ??Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo (Naples, 1629 - 1697) Still life with fruit and little bird
Measures: Oil on canvas, 62 x 83 cm
The still life in question shows juicy citrus fruits, among which we can recognize oranges and cedars, together with red berries scattered on the ground. A cheerful little bird rests on the edge of a terracotta pot in which some pink-mottled carnations grow. The landscape that can be observed all around is veiled by clouds and shaded by shrubs, while in the distance there is a green hill. Dominating the foreground and standing out from the dark background is the fruit which, lush and juicy, stands out in the vivacity of the colors in contrast with the dark background. The full-bodied brushstroke that delineates the wrinkled peel of citrus fruits to restore the realism of the fruit, just as the green leaves of the stems softly folded on themselves are sketched with extreme truthfulness, they ascribe the work to a painter working in the circle of Giovanni Battista Ruoppolo. Ruoppolo is a Neapolitan artist, specialized in the genre of still life, indeed De Dominici himself in his Lives of Neapolitan painters, sculptors and architects recognizes him a primary role in the Neapolitan school of the genre. He studied, together with Giuseppe Recco (1634 -?), In the workshop of Paolo Porpora (1617 - 1673). He painted almost exclusively fruit and flower paintings...
