David and Abigail, fourth decade of the 17th century
Located in Milan, IT
The painting, done in oil on canvas, depicts the meeting between King David and Abigail, as narrated in the biblical text from the First Book of Samuel (I Samuel 25:1-34).
David, left without food in the wilderness with his army, seeks relief from the wealthy Nabal, who contemptuously denies him any help, ungrateful of the benevolence he previously received from the king. Upon hearing the rejection, the ruler intends to take revenge by killing his entire lineage. Abigail, Nabal's beautiful and wise wife, decides to right the wrong and bring David plenty of food and gifts. In the king's presence the woman humbles herself, winning his forgiveness and benevolence. Soon afterwards widowed, she will in fact become his bride.
The broad scene depicts the climax of the Old Testament episode, the moment when the woman prostrates herself before David and his servants prepare to deliver the gifts.
The biblical event is here a pretext, as is customary in modern-age painting, for staging the colorful description of a sumptuous procession, which can be divided into two parts, almost two wings of a crowd divided specularly: on the left David with his dignitaries and the army; on the other, Abigail's retinue, handmaids, servants leading dromedaries and donkeys laden with food.
The crowded group of figures is set in a natural proscenium: above a low horizon, barely hinted at by distant blue mountains, rises on the left side a craggy rocky cliff, the shelter of the army led by the ruler.
The 'somatic intonation of the characters, as well as the choice of metallic chromatics and the play of light on the shiny fabrics refer to a clear Flemish matrix, particularly the influence of the frothy and sumptuous painting of Rubens and Van Dyck.
As well set forth in the expert report prepared by Professor Giuseppe Sava, the work is to be attributed to Vincent Malò...

Gruppo 8 dipinti Eroine dell’antichità, Francesco Conti, XVIII secolo
Located in Milan, IT
Oil on gattice wood in octagon. Il gruppo di otto dipinti in oggetto (figg. 1-8) rappresenta, nel classico formato fiorentino dell’ottagono, una serie di effigi femminili a mezza figura.
Più precisamente, si tratta di giovani fanciulle elegantemente vestite, disposte in varie attitudini ma accomunate, ad eccezione di due esemplari sui quali ci soffermeremo in seguito, dall’accento sulla ricchezza, evidenziata sia da particolari di fastose console e drappeggi, sia da collane di perle o tessuti preziosi che le donne talvolta maneggiano, ponendovi così l’accento.
Una delle figure porta in testa una corona reale, altre dei turbanti o inconsueti copricapi. Questi dettagli conferiscono ai personaggi un aspetto principesco, talvolta abbinato a richiami orientaleggianti.
Una formula che riporta alla mente il caso di un dipinto da poco riscoperto nella sua vera identità, il “Ritratto fino a mezzo busto di Regina Armena” di Mario Balassi, seducente connubio di recuperi alloriani ed elementi di fantasia conservato alle Gallerie degli Uffizi (vedi F.

Festa galante nel parco. Scuola francese. Metà XVIII secolo
Located in Milan, IT
La scena raffigura una festa all’interno di un parco cintato da mura con varchi ad arco che si aprono sulla campagna, e ornato sulla destra con un’anfora su colonnina e al centro, dietro le figure, con una fontana zampillante, con statue di putti e conchiglie.
Due coppie di dame e gentiluomini riccamente vestiti si intrattengono galantemente, circondati dalla servitù; uno degli uomini sta suonando il violino, accovacciato davanti alla sua dama che, affiancata dalla damigella, segue la melodia sullo spartito retto dal moretto al suo fianco, mentre due musicanti accompagnano la suonata con il flauto e un mandolino; l’altra coppia, in atteggiamento di dialogo intimo, ascolta sulla sinistra, mentre sulla destra anche il cacciatore che rientra dalla caccia osserva la scena.
Nella scena spicca in particolare il ricco abito della dama al centro, caratterizzato dalle ampie pieghe posteriori ricadenti dalle spalle a creare un mantello. Tale abito corrisponde a quello che veniva chiamato “robe à la Watteau”, dal nome del pittore francese Antoine Watteau che per primo ritrasse signore indossanti questo modello.
Antoine Watteau (1684 -1721), pittore francese considerato uno dei più influenti esponenti francesi della pittura rococò, fu il precursore del genere pittorico delle scene galanti, genere sviluppatosi in Francia dalla fine del ‘600 e protrattosi per tutto il secolo successivo.
Le scene galanti si potevano considerare come la versione aristocratica della scene di genere: caratterizzate da musica, danze, piacevoli conversazioni fra dame e gentiluomini attorniati dalla servitù, tendevano a esaltare i costumi, gli abiti alla moda, gli ambienti della classe elevata, trasmettendo una sorta di distacco dai tempi e i luoghi reali, proiettando lo spettatore in una atmosfera quasi teatrale, fatta di gesti, sguardi, colori e luci da palcoscenico.
Peraltro Watteau, insieme ai cicli delle Fêtes galantes, si distinse anche per quelli ispirati al teatro, assorbendo la passione per le scene e i personaggi di tale ambiente da Claude Gillot...
