Informazioni sull’articolo

Painting, oil on canvas, measuring 92 x 77 without frame and 107 x 82 cm with frame , depicting a Saint Jerome in ancient philosopher and ascetic version, typical of the greatest tradition of the Neapolitan Baroque of the mid-17th century; the painting is without a shadow of a doubt a 'work of great quality and artistic sensitivity of the painter Francesco Fracanzano ( Monopoli 1612 - Naples 1656 ). Represented here is one of the artist's dearest subjects, namely the depiction of half-figures of saints or philosophers investigated with crude realism; here we can also see our artist's predilection for a smoother, more softly shaped and more vibrant pictorial body. The compositional scheme of this work faithfully reflects the precepts of the time with an 'almost frontal setting of the figure and with the light conceived in the strictest Caravaggesque tradition, with a light source coming from the left, which makes both the noble head and the very accurate hands stand out against a dark background, shaded on the right in a lighter halo; here we can easily see the artist's inclination and desire to capture in the portrait the character of the character and his attention to an emotional and sentimental rendering of the image through a painting, which exudes a deep humanity and great moral strength without ever reaching a decorative formalism, endowed with both great naturalism and of an intimate and sorrowful participation for a humanity marked by age and suffering. Analyzing a few details of the work such as the epidermal beauty of the pictorial material on the wrinkled forehead and the refined definition of the complexion and the superbly painted hands in comparison with the humble clothing we can even address the work around the 1740s. when Francesco Fracanzano embarked on the path of a more observant realism typical of his great master and mentor Jusepe de Ribera, although we can already glimpse new chromatic turns far removed from his youthful period when naturalistic rigor yields to the flattery of a more tender and refined pictorial palette as revealed by the more accurate conduct of the various veils in this painting. I may add that the authorship of this work to Francesco Fracanzano lies not only in the drafting of the work, its colors and its representation, but finds confirmation in numerous works by the artist himself where, in any case, his imprint is known. We can find the same artistic sense present here in other works by the same painter such as The Return of the Prodigal Son, Lot and the Daughters found in the Monopoli Cathedral, the Bacchanal in the Fogg art museum in Cambridge, the inebriated Silenus found in the Prado museum in Madrid, and Ecce Homo now in the Morton B. Harris collection in New York.

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...
