About the Item
Francesco Graziani, known as Ciccio Napoletano
(active in Naples and Rome in the second half of the 17th century)
Battle with clash of horsemen
Oil on canvas
95 x 130 cm
In period frame cm. 114 x 148
Expertise E. Negro
This interesting painting depicts an animated scene of armed combat between knights in armour, bordered on the horizon by hills and a sky criss-crossed with white clouds that are brightened by glimpses of light. A ruined round tower, fortifications and a dense column of smoke can be seen, while in the foreground, on the left, is a knight fallen to the ground with his standard, in the centre two duellists armed with pistols and around them numerous men on horseback engaged in the fight.
It is therefore a canvas celebrating the deeds performed during a war campaign, although difficult to identify, but which probably took place in the second half of the 17th century, as evidenced by the types of armour and costumes of the combatants.
Both the invention and the stylistic qualities of the painting decisively refer to the prestigious Neapolitan school of battlers that flourished in the second half of the 17th century, highlighting its typical stylistic features. In particular, there is a thick material with warm, full-bodied colours; the painting is then uniformly illuminated by a particular light, which is useful for turning the volumes of the figures and smoothing the forms; these colours and the marked physiognomic features of the characters are effectively outlined with just a few touches of the brush.
This pictorial current was headed by talented masters such as Salvator Rosa, Jacques Courtois known as il Borgognone and Marzio Masturzo. However, it is to the works of Francesco Graziani, known as Ciccio Napoletano (active in Rome and Naples during the second half of the 17th century), that our painting can easily be linked, although the singular brilliance of the colours and the luminosity of the scene would not make the painting disfigure next to similar compositions executed by the previously mentioned battle painters.
Although there is little certain information regarding Francesco Graziani's education (many sources report that he was a pupil of Borgognone) and subsequent activity, it is known that he moved from Naples to Rome in the last decades of the 17th century, soon becoming a well-established painter among the patrons of the Urbe.
The general character of the works presents that synthesis of rapid touches and vigorous emphasis that is perfectly attributable to the catalogue of Graziani, who composes his scenes with crowded movements where the characters are delineated with a rapid and nervous, almost curly stroke, invigorated by effective luministic touches.

Knight Van Douw Paint Oil on canvas Old master 17/18th Century Flemish Art Italy
By Simon Johannes van Douw (Antwerp c. 1630 - c. 1677)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
After Simon Johannes van Douw (Antwerp c. 1630 - c. 1677)
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...
