Huge 17th century old master - The feast of Bacchus - celebration Poussin
About the Item
Huge 17th century Old Master painting "Bacchus celebration" attributed to Niccolo de Simone
The Bacchus celebration, also known as Bacchanalia, was both a joyous and extended affair in ancient Rome. Spanning several days, it featured lively music, colorful costumes, extravagant feasts, and unrestrained merrymaking. Participants engaged in ecstatic dances, singing, and drinking to honor Bacchus and celebrate the advent of spring. This festival provided an opportunity for people to cast off inhibitions, fostering a sense of community and shared enjoyment while embracing the pleasures of life.
The influence of Nicolas Poussin is very palpable in the present painting. Poussin, a prominent French Baroque painter, had a significant impact on other artists during his time in Rome. His emphasis on classical subject matter, rigorous composition, and careful attention to detail left a lasting mark on artists of his generation and generations to come, both in Italy and beyond. The vibrant blues in the present painting, the modelling of the cherubs and much of the composition appear to be an artistic nod to the great master, yet crafted in the own distinct artistic DNA of De Simone.
We thank Nicola Spinosa for confirming the attribution of the present painting to De Simone. He pointed out the existence of another version of the composition published in "pag. 34, fig. 32 (olio su tela, cm. 97x129,5) monografia su Aniello Falcone e i pittori della sua cerchia, edita nel 2023 da Silvana Editoriale"

- Large 17th century religious family painting - Mary with Christ and AnnaLocated in Antwerp, BE17th century Old Master painting depicting the Infant Christ with Mary and St. Anne attributed to Nicolas de Liemaker The artist of the present work wonderfully captured the loving gaze of Maria, looking in awe at her child. One can sense the tenderness and love in her eyes. The eyes of Christ appears to be filled with wisdom and love and a finely painted aura crowns his and his mother's heads. St. Anne, Mary's mother, gently holds the infant whilst gazing adoringly at him. The painting is not only a beautiful depiction of Christ and his mother and grandmother, but also a sweet image of the tender bond between a mother's and their children. The vibrant and soft colours of the fabric create a soft cocoon around the figures and seem to further emphasis the beauty and importance of the depicted scenery and its protagonists. Nicolaas de Liemaecker (also spelled as Liemaker or Liemackere) was a Flemish painter born in Ghent in 1601. He was also known under the name Nicolaas Roose. His father was Jacobus de Liemaecker, a painter upon glass. Nicolaas is reported to have been trained by his father and Gaspard de Crayer II (1), an apprenticeship with Otto Van Veen has also been suggested. In 1624 he worked at the Court of the Bishop of Paderborn and for Ferdinand of Bavaria. He later returned to his native city, where he focused on religious and historical paintings. He was a very accomplished and celebrated artist who attained a high rank in his profession. He witnessed the baptisms of Pieter and Janne-Marie Van Hulle...Category

- 17th century Flemish Italian Old Master - The baptism of Christ - ReligiousLocated in Antwerp, BE17th century Flemish old Master painting The present painting is truly a little jewel with its vibrant colours and skilful brushwork. It depicts the Baptism of Christ, a depiction of a tale filled with hope and positivity, it is a very fine example of Malo's talent. We would like to thank Anna Orlando for her assistance in cataloguing this painting. A copy of her entry on this painting will be given to the buyer. She writes about the present painting: The painting illustrated here, unpublished, refers to Vincenzo (Vincent) Malò, a Flemish artist active in Italy and in particular in Genoa in the first half of the seventeenth century, by now well known. The critics who started studying him in the sixties of the last century recognized the initial confusion of our painter with Vincenzo Alemanno (1595-1675); many documents subsequently traced both in the Genoese and Roman archives have partially specified his biographical details, but certainly his identity. Son of a certain Nicola, Vincent trained in Antwerp with David Teniers the Elder and then with Rubens, he was intermittently enrolled in the painters' guild, between 1623 and 1634. It is unlikely that he first arrived in Genoa in 1625 , when the city was at war against the Savoys, and it is entirely probable that his stay in Italy fell between 1634 and the year of his death, documented in Rome in 1644. It were about ten fertile years, also thanks to the lessons from Rubens who had taught him to paint speedily...Category
