About the Item

Roman school, second half of the 17th century Composition with lemons and small dog Oil on canvas, 97.5 x 74.5 cm Framed, 120 x 95 cm The work we describe here can be framed in the still life style that blossomed in Rome during the seventeenth century, involving both Italian artists and foreign painters, especially French and Flemish, who came to the city in search of rich commissions and artistic novelties to learn in order to enhance their qualities. The names that come closest to this work are those of Pier Francesco Cittadini (1616-1681) and Francesco Noletti known as the Maltese but for a long time also known as Fieravino (1611-1654). Originally from Milan the former and from Malta the latter, both found themselves working in the Urbe, where they tried their hand at the Still Life genre, achieving great success both in terms of patrons and in terms of followers and imitators. Cittadini had other experiences beforehand as well: a pupil of Daniele Crespi in Milan first and of Guido reni in Bologna later, he only landed more decisively on still life once he arrived in Rome, where he got to know the French artists who practiced this particular genre there. More focused and purified from the other genres turns out instead to be Noletti, who came directly to Rome from the small island of Malta, which earned him the nickname the Maltese, he immediately distinguished himself, even among the Northerners as Jacques Coelemans' engravings and Jacques Hupin's reproductions show , for the high lenticular quality of his works, particularly in the rendering of the fabrics of the Turkish-style carpets that constantly appear in his canvases, similarly to the one haphazardly resting on the raised floor. Continuing with the similarities, we find the presence of the metal tray with fruit, apples and lemons, but especially the metal vase at the foot of the scene; these elements capable of enhancing the reflections of light in the dark setting are typical in Noletti's still lifes while the presence of the small dog or, in general, an animal element, which we find in many of Cittadini's works, on the other hand, is rare. The space behind is not particularly bright but is shown to be open by means of an arch that frames a corner of cloudy sky; this breath toward the open as well as the very description of the architectural elements that perimeter the room are also elements that appear somewhat absent in the Maltese artist's production, but which are found in Cittadini: an example is the canvas preserved at the National Gallery of Ancient Art in Trieste, or the one in the Galleria Estense in Modena, where we can also detect the animal presence in the cat attacking the cage containing a small bird. The game, therefore, is played between different peculiarities, coexisting and arising in the same city but by two different artists who nevertheless knew how to identify a certain commonality in the figurative choices of this genre; this work sums up the analytical texture of the oriental carpet and the precious reverberation of the metal with the greater airiness of the background and the dynamic presence of the small dog, demonstrating the ability to reconcile the choices of two artists who left a huge furrow in the history of Roman still life and beyond.
