About the Item
Gaspare Diziani (Belluno 1689 - Venice 1767)
Portrait of a Young Princess (Salome?)
Oil on canvas
42 x 33 cm
Framed 70 x 63 cm
A charming portrait of a beautiful young woman with an absorbed gaze, sumptuously attired in a dress of exquisite fabrics, precious jewellery, and with her hair loose, partially covered by a red veil stopped by a golden tiara. This is the protagonist of our beautiful canvas who, given the characters just listed, would lead us to think of the portrait of a princess, presumably Salome, but also Catherine of Alexandria, a favourite subject in ancient art, or Cleopatra because of the pearls embellishing her face, although these are only hypotheses given the absence of attributes that would unequivocally identify her.
Of beautiful quality and preservation, the canvas shows features that indicate the Venetian genesis of the execution, due to the chromatic exuberance and vividness of the drafting; in particular, we are inclined to attribute its execution to Gaspare Diziani (1689-1767), a refined painter and protagonist of the 18th century Venetian artistic scene.
We see his typical use of colour, with a palette of warm, vibrant tones, and soft chiaroscuro, with light effectively distributed to create a beautiful sense of depth and volume.
The details in the clothing, facial features and objects accompanying the figure are also very precise, demonstrating the artist's technical skill.
Arriving in Venice from Belluno around 1710, Diziani was a pupil first of Gregorio Lazzarini, the last provincial interpreter of Baroque tenebrism, and then of Sebastiano Ricci, whose teaching was decisive in the formation of a painting rich in matter, chromatic accentuation and strong, nervous brushstrokes.
Initially dedicated to theatre sets, during the second decade his activity moved to Dresden, to the court of Augustus III of Saxony and to Munich. In 1720 his presence in Venice is again documented, but we also know him to be present in several cities in the Veneto region, painting works of artistic value, especially in Belluno and Padua.

- Portrait Noblewoman Dog Van Loo Paint 18th Century Oil on canvas Old master ArtLocated in Riva del Garda, ITLouis Michel van Loo (Toulon 1707- Paris 1771) attributable Portrait of a noblewoman with her little dog Oil on canvas (79 x 66 cm. - with frame 92 x 78 cm.) A qualitative portrait depicting an elegant noblewoman of French origin, presumably belonging to the wealthy court of Versailles during the reign of Louis XV; this work fully reflects the pictorial qualities as well as the refinement of the compositional style of the French painter Louis Michel van Loo (1707- 1771), one of the most significant portrait painters of his time, and for this reason in demand at the most noble European courts. The work, taking up the traditional formula for portraits of members of the aristocracy, shows the effigy in a half-length pose, slightly turned to the right and looking directly at the viewer. The woman, with a regal bearing, is here portrayed intent on completing her daily beauty ritual, wearing a cape during her make-up, which must have just been completed as pink powder is visible on her cheeks. This luxurious garment reveals a corset with a daring neckline, made of silk and lace, and a coral-coloured dress ending in wide jabote cuffs. Her hair is styled in the French fashion in a hairstyle that highlights her facial features. Having finished her beauty ritual, the woman is intent on removing her cape with one hand, an elegant gesture that emphasises her noble pose. At her side is her small pet dog, sitting on a blue velvet cushion with gold trim. The canvas may have been made on the occasion of a wedding, elegantly celebrating the role of a member of the aristocracy. The presence of the pet depicted in her arms had in fact a precise meaning: the fidelity that is such a well-known characteristic of the dog, declared at the same time the virtues of the effigy. Louis Michel van Loo (Toulon 1707- Paris 1771) was the son of the painter Jean Baptiste van Loo, with whom he studied in Rome and Turin. He attended the Paris Academy, where he won the first prize for painting in 1726. In 1728 he returned to Rome, where he met Francois Boucher. In 1732, passing through Turin, he returned to Paris. In 1737 van Loo became court painter in Madrid, succeeding Jean Ranc...Category
