Saint Jerome Oil on copper 16th Century Paint Old master Italy Emilian school

1560-1599

About the Item

Ferrara school of the late sixteenth century - circle of Giuseppe Mazzuoli known as Bastarolo (Ferrara 1536 - 1589) St. Jerome penitent in the cave Oil on copper - 23 x 18 cm. - In frame 28 x 24 Notes: On the back of the rummy, stamp imprinted in sealing wax with MM monogram This representation of the penitent St. Jerome, still in a sixteenth-century style, due to color evidence and a plastic treatment of the figurative dimension, can be placed in the context of an author from Ferrara active in the late sixteenth century. The saint is portrayed in half-length with his typical iconographic attributes: the crucifix to which to address adoration, the skull symbol of penance on the left hand resting on a closed book, and finally the stone that he holds with his right hand. Depicted in a three-quarter length half-length, with a beard and long hair, Saint Jerome occupies the space in the foreground, evoking in particular the period of hardness and solitude spent in the desert. The long and disheveled hair, the gaze that turns downwards, restore the sense of an icon of faith that ignites religious devotion and invites spiritual reflection and repentance. The style characters of our rummy would make us circumscribe the authorship to an author from the circle of Giuseppe Mazzuoli, known as Bastarolo (Ferrara 1536 - 1589), whose pictorial lexicon is in fact based on the figurative tradition of Ferrara, from which the gaudy chromatism and on and intense naturalism, and on the knowledge of Emilian and Venetian painting. Consider that with the seventies and eighties Mazzuoli's moment of greatest fame opens, whose painting presents a progressive orientation towards more simplified compositions, which collect the counter-reformed instances of the changed religious climate of Ferrara and therefore the particular needs of the client. These characteristics can be grasped by observing the work in question, similar to the accomplishments of the painter's maturity. Work in excellent condition. Antique frame, not coeval.

  • Portrait Noblewoman Dog Van Loo Paint 18th Century Oil on canvas Old master Art
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Louis 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...

  • Resurrection Christ Tiziano 16/17th Century paint Oil on canvas Old master Italy
    By Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    The Resurrection of Christ Follower of Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)   Venetian school of the late 16th/early 17th century Oil on canvas 108 x 78 cm. - Framed 129 x 99 cm. This jewel of the Venetian school, a work executed between the 16th and 17th centuries by a Venetian artist, illustrates the episode of the Resurrection of Christ: as reported in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 28:1-7) the event is accompanied by an explosion of light and glow, with the figure of Christ rising into the sky. Christ's face, serene and victorious, looks up towards the Light and the Infinite, in contrast to his majestic figure, here constructed with the appearance of a classical sculpture, contrasted by an intensely luminous background. The Risen One firmly holds in His hand the banner (white with a red cross) of the Resurrection, also known as the flag of St. George, which iconographically represents His victory over death, while raising His right hand in a blessing act. With his feet he crushes a snake and a skull, a sign of Christ's triumph over sin and death. The painting belongs to the Venetian school and presents clear reminiscences with the works of Titian Vecellio...
