About the Item

18th-century painting depicting Saint Mary Magdalene renouncing the vanities of the world, after a celebrated composition by Charles Le Brun (1619–1690), first painter to King Louis XIV. This powerful work illustrates a pivotal moment in the saint’s life: the abandonment of earthly riches and fleeting pleasures in favor of spirituality and penitence. The scene displays all the hallmarks of the French Baroque style, with dramatic gesture, sumptuous drapery, and rich colors enhancing the narrative. At her feet lie jewels, pearls, and mirrors—symbols of vanity and worldly temptation. The figure of Mary Magdalene embodies both grace and fervor, set within a deeply spiritual atmosphere. The painting is presented in a fine antique carved and patinated wooden frame, which adds to its prestige. A work of great quality, both decorative and historically meaningful, ideal for collectors of Old Master paintings, religious subjects, and Baroque art. This painting can be placed just as elegantly above an antique commode in a classical interior as it can in a contemporary setting.

18th Century Lying Female Figure Painting by Giovanni Domenico Molinari
Located in Milan, IT
Giovanni Domenico Molinari (Caresana, 1721 - Turin, 1793) Lying Female figure Oil on canvas, cm 46 x. 31 - With frame, cm 56 x 42 The present painting is connected by style and treated subject, in this case a young girl lying in an idyllic landscape, to the production of small pictures of pastoral subject of the Piedmontese painter Giovanni Domenico Molinari (Caresana, 1721 - Turin, 1793). Molinare was born in Caresana (Vercelli) on 19 July 1721 but after losing both his parents he moved to Turin. Here he became, from 1736, a pupil of the Academy of Drawing founded by the painter Claudio Francesco Beaumont (Turin, 4 July 1694 - Turin, 21 June 1766) where he remained as a pensioner until December 1755. Molinari was immediately engaged in the translation of the master’s sketches on cardboard used for the Regia manufacture of tapestries. His early success on the Turin art scene is confirmed by the fact that he joined the Compagnia di San Luca in 1756. In 1751 he married Margherita Peiroleri, whose brothers Pietro (engraver) and Nicolò (painter) also attended the school. Remained widower count two other marriages first with Lucrezia Elisabetta Burzio and then in 1770 with Domenica Maria Ferrero. On the death of the master in 1766 Molinari, considered by his contemporaries to be the most faithful interpreter of the master and for his elegant and Arcadian style, which clearly interprets the aesthetic taste of the court, was called to finish the works that remained unfinished, such as the altarpiece for the church of Santa Maria della Scala in Moncalieri depicting the Assumption venerated by Blessed Bernard of Baden and Saint Anthony. Molinari was also well praised by critics and Abbot Lanzi highlighted the quality of the production of historical and mythological subject for the rigorous post-marattesco classicism. In Turin he worked for Vittorio Amedeo III of Savoy as a portrait painter, executing for him eleven canvases (between 1774 and 1775), but, since 1745, he also supplied tapestry cartoons to the local Fabbrica, of which, in 1766, he became director. The production of paintings of sacred subjects is also lively, especially used in the decoration of the churches of the capital as the Assumption for the Hotel of Virtue and San Pietro Regalado and San Benedetto il Moro for Santa Maria degli Angeli ( Torino) He also painted tempera and oil cartoons for the same church, on the occasion of the beatification of Pacifico da San Severino (1787) and, for that of San Francesco di Paola, when Gaspare de Bono...
