End of 17th century
About the Item
Biblical scene.
Without frame.
Born in Verona in 1666, Antonio Balestra began his training in Rome where he became a pupil of Carlo Maratta (1625 – 1713), an Italian painter active mostly in Rome. Thanks to his apprenticeship with Carlo Maratta he was able to develop a highly personal artistic vocabulary capable of combining Venetian colourism with a Roman-style compositional magniloquence. This beautiful painting depicts the story of King Solomon who, old and prey to the temptations of his young wives, decides to turn his devotion to pagan idols. The intertwining of gestures and faces combined with the colours typically associated with Balestra make this work an interesting example of the artist's maturity.

- 18th Century by Matteo Bonechi Presentation of Jesus Painting Oil on CanvasLocated in Milano, LombardiaMatteo Bonechi (Florence 1669 - Florence 1756) Presentation of Jesus Oil on canvas, cm. 75 x 49 – with frame cm. 89,5 x 65 Shaped, carved and gilded wooden box frame Expertise: Sandro Bellesi 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...Category
