17th Century Holy Family with Bird Oil on Glass Follower of Simon Vouet
About the Item
Follower of Simon Vouet (Paris, 1590 - 1649)
The Holy Family with bird
Oil on glass, cm 20.5 x 23.5; with frame cm 27.5 x 29.5
The small painting examined, made on glass and typical of private devotion in its dimensions, is distinguished by its executive quality and intrinsic artistic historical interest, as taken from the only known engraving of a lost painting by the French painter Simon Vouet (1590-1649). The engraving, now kept in a Parisian private collection, titled The Holy Family with the Bird, was published in the catalogue of the exhibition dedicated to Vouet (Vouet, a.c. by J. Thuillier, Rome, Palazzo delle Esposizioni 1991, ill. p. 58 and p. 65). Vouet was formed in Italy between 1613 and 1627, in contact with the world of Caravaggio. On his return to France he became a court painter, receiving commissions from Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu, introducing the Italian Baroque taste.
In comparison to the Parisian engraving, the follower of Vouet has put in the glass in question some variations, essentially concerning the setting. While in engraving the scene is defined in a landscape with tree elements, in the work analyzed the Holy Family is in an undefined environment, enclosed within an elegant oval. The differences are not limited to the context, but also concern the details and especially the expressions of the characters, which seem less severe than those present in the recording.

- 17th Century Madonna with Child Painting Oil on Canvas Tuscan SchoolLocated in Milan, IT17th century, Tuscan school Madonna and Child Oil on canvas, 31 x 21 cm With frame, cm 37,5 x 27,5 The pearly incarnations and the thoughtful play of looks between the Virgin, turned to the Son, and Questi, warmly open to the viewer, pour out the present painting with compositional perfection. Virginal fabrics become mottled at the folds, wrapping the Madonna in a thin vitreous mantle. The pastel colors, shining on the pink robe just tightened at the waist by a gold cord, enliven the faces of the divine couple in correspondence of the cheeks, lit by an orange warmth. Even the left hand of the Virgin, composed in perfect classical pose (Botticelli, Madonna with Child, 1467, Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon), is sprinkled with warmth thanks to the immediate touch with Christ. From the nimbus of the Mother a delicate luminous disk is effused, which takes back, in the most distant rays, the colour of the hair of the Son, from the tones of the sun. The Child Jesus is represented intent in a tender gesture of invitation with the right hand, while with the other he offers a universal blessing: with his hand he retracts the index and annular palms, extending the remaining three fingers, symbol of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The painting welcomes and re-elaborates that typically Tuscan formalism that boasted in the rest of Italy the constant appreciation by the most up-to-date artists and collectors. Arrangement, composition and mixing of colors place the canvas in the middle between the changing mannerist and the sculptural figures of Michelangelo, essential yardstick of comparison in terms of anatomical and expressionistic rendering. In the present, silvery and pinkish powders act as three-dimensional inducers to the Child’s mentioned musculature and to the vivid folds of the clothes, expertly deposited on the lunar whiteness of the skins. While these colours recall the equally brilliantly transparent colours of Pier Francesco Foschi...Category
