About the Item

Emilian school, 17th century Putto with rose Oil on canvas, 43.5 x 32 cm - with frame 45 x 32.5 cm The figure of the putto, when equipped with specific attributes, lends itself to multiple iconological meanings. The present holds a delicate flower and at the same time gaily observes the viewer, spreading soft wings. A tender light illuminates the semblant, defining the volumes of the composition. Thus an elusive allegory of love is implied, to which the puttino is a preferential representative, and the crystalline flower, which resembles both a rose and a peony, emphasizes both the temporality of the feeling and the joy it brings. Even the open wings of the little putto, in addition to slender the figure through a slight dynamism, underline the immanence of the loving feeling, all-encompassing at a single time. The uncontaminated nature of the rose also interested the Christian world in the figurative arts, identifying with it the figure of the Virgin, called "Rose without thorns". In the pagan world the flower was related in particular to the goddess Venus, but the subsequent medieval reflection on it gave rise to many symbolic nuances, linked, as mentioned above, to time, love, truth and innocence. The particular pink base, accorded to the specific amber skin of the child, allows to recognize an Emilian executive context, underlined, in old age, by the happy parable of Felice Fortunato Biggi (1680-1750), who re-proposed a similar Putto with flowers, today in Brescia private collection, in the middle of the 18th century, to testify the territorial appreciation of the subject. Simone Cantarini (1612-1648) re-proposed through technical virtuosity the same softness of the flesh in the figure of Jesus with the painting Madonna with Child and Saint Charles, now preserved at the Pallavicini Gallery in Rome; defined by Luigi Lanzi as “a great esteem for himself, contempt for everyone else”, the artist quickly became the most capable pupil of Guido Reni, importing the Emilian manner into the Marche region.

18th Century Cherub Head Sketch Painting Oil on Canvas

Located in Milan, IT

Venetian school, 18th century Study with the head of a cherub Measures: Oil on canvas, 45.5 x 41 cm - with frame 54.5 x 49.5 cm The present qualifies as a study or preparatory sketch by virtue of the structural and figural layout; by reason of formal and substantial evidence, it can be traced back to the mature neo-Venetian style, which in the eighteenth century had begun to produce figurations of extreme typological pathetism and formal expressionism. The contemporary painting experience of Tiepolo commanded the Venetian art scene, once the lesson of Pier Francesco Mola (1612-1666) was overruled. The delicate putto head offered here, in which a cherub is recognizable due to the happy iconographic solution of the wings placed under the angel's face, is outlined with a vigorous vitalism. A foreshortened point of view illuminates his face in a grazing way, probing his features with strong shadows and with a youthful blush that orange his cheeks. The veristic perfection with which the artist arranges the semblant is of marvelous expressiveness. The eyes are swollen with intensity, and together with the general setting of the head they denounce a conscious reflection on the physiognomy, peculiar within the emerging context of Venetian painting. The painting in question is affected by the large-scale productions, both monumental and perspective, at the time in vogue in the territory of the Serenissima. Conceived through a vision from below, the portrait reveals from the Venetian Rococo that particular predilection for the open and clear, airy ways, denounced in the first instance by Tiepolo. The conscious detachment from the Cortona-style decorativism and from the repeated layout solutions then in vogue allow us to approach the present to the production of Francesco Fontebasso...

18th Century, Italian painting with Sacred Heart of the Child Jesus by Pietro Ba

By Pietro Bardellino

Located in IT

Pietro Bardellino (Italy - Naples, 1732 - 1806), attr., Sacred Heart of the Child Jesus Measurements: with frame, cm L 86 x H 99 x P 8; only the canvas, cm L 78 x H 64 The painting, made in oil on canvas, represents the Sacred Heart of the Child Jesus. Stylistically the work is attributable to Pietro Bardellino (Italy, Naples, 1732 - Naples, 1806), a pupil of Francesco De Mura and considered by critics one of the most gifted and sensitive exponents of the Rococo style in Naples. The canvas represents the Child Jesus, surrounded by flowers in an outdoor setting, while showing the sacred heart. The canvas has a well-balanced color and a strong sweetness of the child’s traits, which with the complicit gesture of the right hand, involves the viewer in the intimate and delicate sharing of the garden in which he sits. The roses, in addition to being a beautiful piece of still life, contribute to enrich the Christological message, being bearers of symbolic meanings. Marian attributes par excellence, are often side by side with Christ, whose thorns foreshadow the Passion. In the canvas, on the top left, two cherubim are observed: among them, according to the Old Testament, is God: the author therefore puts into place an iconographic and iconological hyperbole that amplifies its meaning. The iconographic theme of the Child Jesus with the Sacred Heart in his hand spread between the second half of the eighteenth century and the first of the following century. With the worship of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Catholic Church intends to honour the Heart of Jesus Christ, one of the organs symbolizing his humanity, which by intimate union with the Divinity, has the right to worship and love of the Saviour for men, of which His Heart is the symbol. It represents one of the fundamental devotions of Christian life, as it manifests the true face of God, who is prodigal and boundless love. It was the French mystic Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque...
