Antonio Ciseri (attr.)
Attributed Antonio Ciseri Religious Gospel Painting 19th century oil canvas

19th

About the Item

This small painting (oil on canvas 35 x 24.5 cm) represents an episode in the life of Saint Peter, as reported in the Acts of the Apostles. Once he was in the town of Lydda, together with Saint John, he met a man called Heneas, who was paralytic for 8 years, and the saint made a miracle and healed him. It can be attributed to Antonio Ciseri who was a Swiss-Italian painter of religious subjects. He was born in Ronco sopra Ascona, Switzerland. He went to Florence in 1833 to study drawing with Ernesto Bonaiuti. Within a year, by 1834 he was a pupil of Niccola and Pietro Benvenuti at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence; he was later taught by Giuseppe Bezzuoli, who greatly influenced the early part of his career. In 1849, he began offering instruction to young painters, and eventually ran a private art school. Among his earliest students was Silvestro Lega. Ciseri's religious paintings are Raphaelesque in their compositional outlines and their polished surfaces, but are nearly photographic in effect. He fulfilled many important commissions from churches in Italy and Switzerland. Ciseri also painted a significant number of portraits. He died in Florence on 8 March 1891. Similarities can be found in the style ( the technique, in the dusty and warm palette chosen), but also in the gestures of the figure, for example the one of Saint Peter reminds the one of Pontius Pilate in the “Ecce Homo” held in Florence. (with frame, 38.5 x 28 cm)

  • Italian artist Camuccini Neoclassical Roman History Painting 19th oil canvas
    By Vincenzo Camuccini
    Located in Florence, IT
    This painting is a quite elaborate and finished study of the figure of the decimvir Appius Claudius and of his entourage with the lictors, who stand out on the left side of the monumental canvas of the Death of Virginia painted by Vincenzo Camuccini between the 1799 ad the 1804, today housed in the Museum of Capodimonte in Naples. In respect to the painting in Naples and the very beautiful signed d’apres held in the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi in Lucca (in all ways identical to the painting in Capodimonte), this small canvas-cropped on all sides by approximately 1 cm by an old reframing around which is stretched the original canvas-shows few but significant compositional variations. There is a different composition and totally different progression to the figures faintly outlined with very thin oil in white and pale blue in the background on the right. The fasces held by the lictors of Appius Claudius also seem slightly varied in number and style in respect to the painting in Naples. The figure at the left shoulder of Appius Claudius in second position, for example, holds just one in his hands, while in the final painting there would be two. Other small discrepancies can be found in the faces and emotional states of the squad of figures by the right shoulder of Appius Claudius. However, the variation most important to understanding the value of the drafting of this painting within the long creative process that led to the definitive work today seen at the Capodimonte, although of feeble visible evidence, is that which regards the rendering of a head that falls exactly at the height of the left hand of Appius Claudius, just to the side of the throne in which the decemviro is seated and on which is designed the Roman She-wolf. The figure, whose body is completely hidden by the bearded man with the green tunic...
