About the Item
Antonio Calza (Verona, 1653 – Verona 1725)
Battle between Christian and Turkish cavalry
Oil on canvas 47 x 85 cm In frame 66 x 105 cm
Here we see a fierce battle between Christian and Turkish cavalry characterised by remarkable dynamism and expressive power.
The two sides are in the heat of battle, while lifeless bodies and wounded horses lie on the ground, along with scattered weapons and a drum, heightening the drama of the clash.
These elements, combined with the intense colour palette, careful attention to lighting and decisive, dramatic brushwork, suggest that the work is by Antonio Calza (Verona, 1653 – 18 April 1725), one of the most influential battle painters of the 17th century.
In Rome, he became a pupil and then one of the best followers of Jacques Courtois il Borgognone (Saint-Hyppolite 1621 – Rome 1676), between the end of the 17th and the first quarter of the 18th century. Although he assimilated his master's teachings, he developed a personal style based mainly on the unmistakable dynamic development of the narrative and lively, bright colours, characterised by bright reds and blues.
Although smaller in size, we can find in the work in question the distinctive stylistic features of Calza's painting, in particular figures and details that recur in his battles and can be implicitly considered his signature. In this regard, it is easy to compare the painting in question with those in his body of work, collected by Giancarlo Sestieri in his essay “Pittori di battaglie, maestri italiani e stranieri del XVII e XVIII secolo” (Battle painters, Italian and foreign masters of the 17th and 18th centuries), from which we have selected a few works that we present below (the relevant illustrations are shown in detail):
Battle with Trumpeter and Drummer, 97x124.5 cm, Verona, Castelvecchio Museum
Battle between Christians and Turks in front of a Fortress, Rome, Antique Market, 1940s
Clash of armoured knights, 65 x 81 cm. Venice, private collection
Battle between Christian and Turkish cavalry in front of a square tower, 80 x 103 cm. Bergamo, private collection
Battle between Christian and Turkish cavalry, 93 x 122.5 cm. Ljubljana, Narodna Galerija
Battle between Christians and Turks in front of a burning city, 99 x 128 cm. Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum
Among the typical elements, the frequent towers are undoubtedly significant, contributing to the setting of the compositions and, together with clouds and black smoke, creating a sort of stage presence around the space of the battle.
The painter often introduces a horse on the ground, of which we see only the rear, a trick to involve the viewer, making them active and part of the scene. Similarly, the lifeless bodies that the painter depicts in the foreground are often positioned face down with their heads turned towards the viewer.
Finally, a detail present in many of Calza's canvases is a drum, placed in the foreground, overturned and abandoned.

Knight Van Douw Paint Oil on canvas Old master 17/18th Century Flemish Art Italy

The stop of a traveler on horseback near a post station
Oil painting on canvas
45 x 55 cm
In frame cm. 55 x 65
In this pleasant painting, depicting a knight parked near a post station, the Flemish tradition is based on a strong Italianizing sensitivity, especially by observing the setting and its peculiar brightness.
The mixture of genres and the particular style of execution make it easy to trace the authorship back to a Nordic author but active in Rome, or strongly influenced by the style in vogue in the Eternal city, between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: we are referring, in in particular, to a follower of the Antwerp Simon Johannes van Douw.
The chromatic elegance and refinement with which he outlines the figures are typical aspects of his painting.
The scene takes place outside a cottage, probably a post office for travelers, where a modest family divides the tasks by assisting the knights. We see a young boy who hands water to the horse before he sets off again, the father is preparing to feed him with straw and the mother who instead takes care of the little son.
The Italian reminiscences, evident in our painting, have been absorbed by many Northern European authors such as Nicolaes Berchem, Philips Wouwerman or Johannes Lingelbach, all inspired by the leader Pieter van Laer...
