Italian Brigands in the Roman Countryside fighting with Papal Dragoons.

About the Item

Brigands in the Roman countryside fighting with papal dragoons. 19th century. Characteristic technique among foreign and German traveling painters: oil on metal plate, probably zinc, repainted in red on reverse to make zinc look like copper. The painting depicts a scene of an assault by papal dragoons against the Ciociaria ( region in southern Italy) brigands. The different sketches inside the painting first show us the misdeeds of the brigands and a later arrival of the troops. Top right - The carriage stopped by the brigands, left empty on the road, with the dead on the ground; the well-dressed woman kidnapped and dragged by the brigands. The women are dressed in colorful Ciociaria costumes and typical folded cloth headdresses. The paint is in good condition. It reproduces with minimal differences the scene of Horace Vernet, painted in 1831, during his stay in Italy during his tenure as director of the French Academy. Modern wooden frame.

  • Moses Strikes the Water from the Rock. XVII cent. Dutch school.
    Located in Firenze, IT
    Moses Strikes Water from the Rock Dutch school, XVII century. Workshop of Jacob de Wet (Haarlem, 1610-1675). Technique: Oil on oak wood panel, composed of 3 horizontal panels. In this evocative work, Moses stands in a cave, gathering the Israelites. There was no water to drink or for their cattle. The people were discontented in the desert. But Moses and Aaron listened to the voice of God. With Aaron’s staff, Moses struck the rock, and water gushed forth abundantly, quenching their thirst. Jacob de Wet’s workshop specializes in subjects from the Old and New Testaments. The recognizable rectangular format, simple compositions, and clear narratives define his style. The interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of Rembrandt, adds timeless allure. The characters’ costumes, with their large hats and turbans...
