Antonio Ciseri (attr.)
Attributed Antonio Ciseri Religious Gospel Painting 19th century oil canvas

19th

About the Item

This small painting (oil on canvas 35 x 24.5 cm) represents an episode in the life of Saint Peter, as reported in the Acts of the Apostles. Once he was in the town of Lydda, together with Saint John, he met a man called Heneas, who was paralytic for 8 years, and the saint made a miracle and healed him. It can be attributed to Antonio Ciseri who was a Swiss-Italian painter of religious subjects. He was born in Ronco sopra Ascona, Switzerland. He went to Florence in 1833 to study drawing with Ernesto Bonaiuti. Within a year, by 1834 he was a pupil of Niccola and Pietro Benvenuti at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence; he was later taught by Giuseppe Bezzuoli, who greatly influenced the early part of his career. In 1849, he began offering instruction to young painters, and eventually ran a private art school. Among his earliest students was Silvestro Lega. Ciseri's religious paintings are Raphaelesque in their compositional outlines and their polished surfaces, but are nearly photographic in effect. He fulfilled many important commissions from churches in Italy and Switzerland. Ciseri also painted a significant number of portraits. He died in Florence on 8 March 1891. Similarities can be found in the style ( the technique, in the dusty and warm palette chosen), but also in the gestures of the figure, for example the one of Saint Peter reminds the one of Pontius Pilate in the “Ecce Homo” held in Florence. (with frame, 38.5 x 28 cm)

    Oil on canvas, 62 x 51 cm (without the frame) Even if on the background there is an attribution to “Francesco Gessi pupil of Guido Reni” by the bolognese art historian Guido Zucchini (dated 1945), recent studies are tending to add it to the corpus of Girolamo Negri called Il Boccia (Bologna 1648-1718) due to lots of similarities with his style (the pale and warm palette chosen, the profile) The painting represents a lady on profile wearing a brown turban, a yellow clock...
