Felice Cignani
18th Century Earth Allegory Felice Cignani Putti Oil on Canvas Blue Green

Informazioni sull’articolo

Painting with a diameter of 130 cm and 160 x 160 cm with a marvellous frame depicting an ‘allegory of the Earth’ by the painter Felice Cignani ( Bologna 1660 - 1724 ). An oil on canvas, Cignani, the painter who painted it around 400 years ago, did not intend to represent our planet, but rather the natural element that, together with fire, air and water, makes up the Universe, according to the idea of the world handed down by the ancients. In the painting, the Earth takes the form of a goddess who governs the cycles of nature and generously offers her fruits to putti who take care of her, protecting her and working hard. The chromatic impact is beautiful with these light and warm tones that blend with the peace and tranquillity of Nature. The painting has typically Bolognese characteristics; Felice Cignani reached lofty qualitative peaks in describing the Emilian countryside with grace and sensitivity, exhibiting a clear similarity with the works of Francesco Albani and his Father Carlo; the canvas under examination is a shining example of his art with a real but idealised view of the Bolognese countryside interpreted with Arcadian sensitivity and classical concreteness The patches of trees executed with a free and rapid brushstroke, the warm burnished colours, the atmospheric rendering of the rising clouds, the physicality of the putti, all in a well-balanced composition of his landscapes with an Arcadian pastoral flavour, constitute the most significant elements of his painting, all of which are also well represented in our canvas. In the extraordinary pictorial staging, the skilful setting in a primordial and idyllic natural foreshortening, perfectly organised in relation to the lively and crowded parade of characters, in which an effective sense of motion and a beautiful effect of depth is imprinted, acquires great significance. The composition under consideration draws its inspiration, albeit with variations in artistry and scale, from the Allegory of the Earth in the Galleria Sabauda in Turin, part of a cycle of four tondi inspired by the Elements and executed by Francesco Albani between 1625 and 1628 for the superb collection of Cardinal Maurizio of Savoy (brother of Duke Victor Amadeus I), who had been fascinated by the Stories of Venus and Diana painted by Albani for Scipione Borghese before 1622. These compositions enjoyed enormous critical acclaim and were extraordinarily praised by European collectors for their aesthetic and decorative value, in which myth and nature find full landscape ideality.

17th Century Myth of Diana and Ataeon Francesco Solimena Oil on Canvas Blu Red
Di Francesco Solimena
Painting oil on canvas depicting the myth of Diana and Actaeon measuring 110 x 130 without frame and 120 x 140 with frame by the painter Francesco Solimena. According to the myth, during a hunting trip, Actaeon provoked Diana's wrath when he caught her bathing with her companions in the shade of the Gargafia forest. The summer heat induced her to put on her clothes and cool off, interrupting the hunt. The goddess, to prevent the hunter from speaking about what he had seen, transformed the young man into a stag by spraying water on his face. Anteone si rese conto della sua trasformazione solo quando corse verso una sorgente, dove poté vedere se stesso riflesso nell'acqua. Nel frattempo il cacciatore fu raggiunto dai suoi 50 cani, inferociti da Artemis, che, non riconoscendolo, sbranarono il loro vecchio padrone. The dogs, once they had devoured Actaeon, set out in search of their master throughout the forest, filling it with painful wails. Later they came to the cave of Chiron, who gave them an image of their master to ease their pain. Francesco Solimena, also known as L'Abate Ciccio, was a famous Italian painter of the late Baroque current. He was influenced in his conception of art by Luca Giordano for his creative and very scenic painting and Mattia Preti...
