About the Item

Pair of important oil paintings by a follower of Rembrant The two works represent two celebrated paintings : "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp" and "The Sampling Officials." Very rare is the representation of these two true icons of world art and very rare is their technique on convex supports. This pair of painting, never before on the market, comes from an important European private collection. They are beautified by a pair of impressive XVII Century antique frames in ebonized and gilded wood, in excellent condition. Every item of our Gallery, upon request, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Sabrina Egidi official Expert in Italian furniture for the Chamber of Commerce of Rome and for the Rome Civil Courts. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn ( 1606 – 1669), usually simply known as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman. An innovative and prolific master in three media,he is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art. “The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp” This is a 1632 oil painting on canvas by Rembrandt housed in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, the Netherlands. It was originally created to be displayed by the Surgeons Guild in their meeting room. The painting is regarded as one of Rembrandt's early masterpieces. In the work, Nicolaes Tulp is pictured explaining the musculature of the arm to a group of doctors. Some of the spectators are various doctors who paid commissions to be included in the painting. The painting is signed in the top-left hand corner. The event can be dated to 31 January 1632: the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons, of which Tulp was official City Anatomist, permitted only one public dissection a year, and the body would have to be that of an executed criminal. Anatomy lessons were a social event in the 17th century, taking place in lecture rooms that were actual theatres, with students, colleagues and the general public being permitted to attend on payment of an entrance fee. The spectators are appropriately dressed for this social occasion. It is thought that the uppermost (not holding the paper) and farthest left figures were added to the picture later. Each of the men included in the portrait would have paid a certain amount of money to be included in the work. Rembrandt's anatomical portrait radically altered the conventions of the genre, by including a full-length corpse in the center of the image and creating not just a portrait but a dramatic mise-en-scène. The French art historian Jean-Marie Clarke suggests that the navel of the corpse has the shape of a capital R and connects this observation to the fact that Rembrandt worked intensively on his signatures in 1632, using three types consecutively before settling on the final, first name form in 1633. “The Sampling Officials”, also called Syndics of the Drapers’ Guild is a 1662 oil painting by Rembrandt. It is currently owned by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It has been described as his "last great collective portrait". The men are drapers who were elected to assess the quality of cloth that weavers offered for sale to members of their guild. The Dutch word staal means 'sample' and refers to the samples of cloth that were assessed. The inspectors used pliers to press the seals of their city and guild into penny-sized slugs of lead that were specially affixed to record the results of the inspection. There were four grades of quality, the highest was indicated by pressing four seals and the lowest by pressing only one. The dimensions are frame included. Under existing legislation, any artwork created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died can requires a license for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the license according to the destination of the artwork.

19th Century Head of St. Peter Painting Oil on Canvas by Follower of Piazzetta

By Giovanni Battista Piazzetta

Located in Milan, IT

Follower of Giambattista Valentino Piazzetta (Venice, 1682 - there, 1754) Head of St. Peter Oil on canvas applied on cardboard, 36.5 x 34.5 cm With frame 42.5 x 41 cm The claves Regni Coelorum, an essential Petrine attribute, shyly peek out in this painting, with the sole purpose of allowing the character to be recognized. The wholeness of attention is indeed conveyed to the Saint, from aching humanity and divine inspiration. Pietro is rendered with a liquid epidermis, illuminated by a pearly light that slips and drips to define the overbearing nose, cheekbones and browbone; while the vitreous humor of the eye turns bright to the sky, to investigate the highest wills of the divine mystery. The portrait, rendered here in intense monochrome, denounces the direct dependence of the present artist on the suggestions of Giambattista (Valentino) Piazzetta, one of the greatest among the eighteenth-century Venetian masters. Following an immature apprenticeship in the field of wood carving with his father Jacopo, a sculptor from Pederobba, in the Treviso area, Piazzetta retired to the workshop of Antonio Molinari...
