About the Item

Filippo Abbiati (Milan, Italy, 1640 - 1715) Title: Solomon sacrificing to idols Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: without frame 117 x 146 cm – with frame 131 x 158 cm Antique cassetta frame made of gilded, carved, sculpted wood and lacquered parts Publications: F. M. Ferro, M. Dell'Omo, Filippo Abbiati, regista del barocco in Lombardia, Novara, 2018, pp. 139, 249. The marvellous canvas in question depicts the biblical scene of Solomon who, now an old man, begins to incense pagan idols to please his wives, thus violating the first commandment of the Decalogue. The painting was originally executed by Abbiati for the Gibellini family, with whom the painting was still remembered in the 2018 monograph. The high-quality profile of the work makes it possible to fully attribute the painting to Abbiati, while the prestigious and intact collecting history makes this canvas an example of absolute artistic prestige.

Located in Milano, Lombardia
Matteo Bonechi (Florence, Italy, 1669 - Florence, Italy, 1756) Title: Presentation of Jesus Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: without frame 75 x 49 cm – with frame 89.5 x 65 cm Shaped, carved and gilded wooden box frame Not signed Expertise by Sandro Bellesi, Professor and art historian Fairs: The International Biennial of Antiques in Florence 2022 (BIAF, Biennale Internazionale dell’Antiquariato di Firenze) Publications: Bozzetti, modelletti, sketches: dalla collezione di Giorgio Baratti (From the Giorgio Baratti Collection) curated by Anna Orlando, Agnese Marengo and Annalisa Scarpa, Genova, 2022, pp. 20, 21. The present painting is a very interesting testimony of the creative process of Matteo Bonechi, one of the leading artists on the Tuscan art scene in the early 18th century. The canvas in question is in fact the last preparatory model made by Bonechi before he executed an altarpiece for the church of San Filippo Neri in Cortona in 1716. The scene presented here is that of the Presentation of Jesus, when, forty days after his birth, the child is ransomed through an offering in the temple and placed in the hands of Simeon, who prophesies his future: the coming of the Messiah...
