Giovanni Giacomo Figari (Desenzano del Garda, 1739-1809) Madonna and Child adored by San Francesco di Paola and San Gregorio Magno (About 1765) (2) Oil on panel, 41 x 22.5 - with frame 46.7 x 27.5 x 3.2 cm Expertise Prof. Sava The softly collected and intimate dimension suggested by the present pair of paintings underlines, together with the saints appearing in adoration, the totally private dimension of the order. The saints chosen at the feet of the Madonna and Child are in fact Francesco di Paola and Gregorio Magno, immediately recognizable by the wise features, by the Franciscan habit and by the crosier supported by a putto, the other by the triple crown placed on the ground as a sign of respect. Most likely made as ex votos, as a tribute to the patrons or as preparatory models for two altarpieces, if the saints were to reflect their names, the paintings are offered for specular and meditated composition. An inflamed colorism lights up the veils of the Madonna, enhancing their prominent position with respect to the saint in her presence, and warming the remaining part of the composition with sweet intimacy. The compositional balance, the quality of the drawing and the plastic consistency of the drapery allow the painter's hand to be brought closer to the sphere of Giambettino Cignaroli (1706-1770), a Venetian painter, working in different cities in northern Italy. He was influenced by Ludovico Dorigny, Antonio Balestra...
