We kindly ask that you read the entire description, as we strive to provide comprehensive technical and historical details to ensure the authenticity of our items. This frame encloses a canvas cutout from an antique oil painting and is particularly unique and distinctive. It was recently crafted by a Florentine Master cabinetmaker whose workshop is located in the most charming and vibrant district of Florence, San Frediano, renowned for its artisan shops that produce entirely handmade works. The Master used carved and shaped wood to replicate the appearance of bamboo, employing a technique known as "faux bamboo." This process involves using durable woods, such as maple or oak, that are intricately carved and then painted to achieve the desired effect. The "faux bamboo" technique has a history that dates back several centuries and gained significant popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe and America, eras marked by a fascination with exotic and Oriental design influences. This technique was particularly associated with the Chinoiserie style, an artistic movement inspired by Chinese art and aesthetics. At the time, real bamboo furniture...

Venetian school, 18th century Study with the head of a cherub Measures: Oil on canvas, 45.5 x 41 cm - with frame 54.5 x 49.5 cm The present qualifies as a study or preparatory sketch by virtue of the structural and figural layout; by reason of formal and substantial evidence, it can be traced back to the mature neo-Venetian style, which in the eighteenth century had begun to produce figurations of extreme typological pathetism and formal expressionism. The contemporary painting experience of Tiepolo commanded the Venetian art scene, once the lesson of Pier Francesco Mola (1612-1666) was overruled. The delicate putto head offered here, in which a cherub is recognizable due to the happy iconographic solution of the wings placed under the angel's face, is outlined with a vigorous vitalism. A foreshortened point of view illuminates his face in a grazing way, probing his features with strong shadows and with a youthful blush that orange his cheeks. The veristic perfection with which the artist arranges the semblant is of marvelous expressiveness. The eyes are swollen with intensity, and together with the general setting of the head they denounce a conscious reflection on the physiognomy, peculiar within the emerging context of Venetian painting. The painting in question is affected by the large-scale productions, both monumental and perspective, at the time in vogue in the territory of the Serenissima. Conceived through a vision from below, the portrait reveals from the Venetian Rococo that particular predilection for the open and clear, airy ways, denounced in the first instance by Tiepolo. The conscious detachment from the Cortona-style decorativism and from the repeated layout solutions then in vogue allow us to approach the present to the production of Francesco Fontebasso...
