About the Item
Giovanni Coli (San Quirico, 1636 - Lucca, 1681), Filippo Gherardi (Lucca, 1643- 1704)
Assunzione della Vergine
Olio su tela, cm 95 x 70
Con cornice cm 111 x 85
La tela in esame è da attribuire per le forti consonanze stilistiche e formali non ad un singolo artista ma a due pittori, operosi insieme per quasi tutta la vita: Filippo Gherardi e Giovanni Coli.
Filippo Gherardi mosse i primi passi nel mondo dell'arte a Lucca nella bottega paterna, dove si trovava anche Giovanni Coli con il quale strinse una forte amicizia e un sodalizio artistico destinato a durare sino alla morte del Coli; risulta di conseguenza difficile ricostruire in maniera autonoma il percorso biografico e professionale dei due pittori che Pellegrino Orlandi descrisse con queste parole: “Non isdegnarono che l'uno lavorasse nella medesima testa, o panno, o figura dell'altro”.
Successivamente i due entrarono nella bottega romana di Pietro da Cortona per aggiornarsi sui caratteri della nuova pittura barocca. Furono anche a Venezia dove studiarono ed eseguirono alcune copie delle opere di Tiziano, Tintoretto e Veronese. In laguna ricevettero anche importanti commissioni quali la realizzazione di una grande tela “Madonna in gloria”, oggi persa, per la chiesa della colonia italiana a Lisbona e l'incarico per le volte del monastero benedettino di S. Giorgio Maggiore con la realizzazione di cinque tele legate al tema della divina sapienza. Le tele, in cui si uniscono il magistero cortonesco e le grandi scenografie del Veronese, avranno grande importanza per la cultura figurativa veneziana del secondo '600. Dopo l'esperienza veneta non mancarono le commissioni ai due i quali sono attivi a Lucca per la Chiesa di San Tommaso in Pelleria e in particolare a Roma, dove nel 1675 vengono eletti membri dell'accademia di S. Luca. Fra le opere romane si possono citare tre tele per il soffitto della chiesa di di Santa Croce e San Bonaventura e gli affreschi per la galleria di Palazzo Colonna.
Il bozzetto in esame potrebbe riferirsi a una commissione andata persa o mai realizzata. Si sottolinea la vivacità e il profondo movimento insito nella tela. La composizione è ricca ma ben calibrata, la pennellata fresca, rapida e densa di vibrazione. Le figure, come tipico dei bozzetti, si allungano e sfilano con grande grazia ed eleganza. Per quanto in tutta la loro opera sia importante la formazione avvenuta sotto Pietro da Cortona, bisogna evidenziare come l'influenza della pittura veneta abbia permesso ai due artisti di non accentuare l'andamento rigonfio di alcune sue composizioni.
Loro opere sono conservate oltre che in collezioni private presso palazzo Corsini a Roma, la Gemaldegalerie di Dresda, il County museum di Los Angeles o il museo civico di Treviso.

- Game of bowls Oil painting on canvas by Domenico OliveroLocated in Milan, ITDomenico Olivero (Turin, August 1, 1679 - January 13, 1755) Game of bowls Oil on canvas, 43 x 65 cm With frame, 54.5 x 76 Expert opinion Prof. Alberto Crispo The painting shown here depicts peasants playing bowls near a farmhouse, while one of them offers sweets to a little girl. The canvas, in my opinion, can be traced back to the hand of Pietro Domenico Olivero (Turin, August 1, 1679 - January 13, 1755), as revealed by comparisons with other works by the artist, such as the Peasants' Feast already at the Gilberto Zabert Gallery in Turin, where we find an entirely similar layout, with the figures crowded around the building, placed on the left, and some household goods piled up on the right, including a copper cauldron almost identical to the one sketched in our painting. But see also other similar subjects painted by the Turin-based artist, such as the Game of Bowls already at the Cantore Gallery in Modena or the other version on the Genoese market in 2019, which, although radically different compositionally, confirm the painter's interest in playful themes and manifest the same ways in delineating characters, with synthetic and robust brushstrokes. The artist was born in Turin, in the parish of St. Thomas, on August 1, 1679 to Giovanna and Francesco, a carver by profession. He trained at the workshop of the painter and architect Melchiorre Baldassarre Bianco. He was esteemed by Victor Amadeus II of Savoy, who commissioned paintings for the Venaria Reale (1714), the Royal Palace of Turin (1716), and Rivoli Castle (1724), as well as by his ministers Pietro Mellarède and Carlo Vincenzo Ferrero di Roasio marquis of Ormea whose collections counted many of the painter's works. His success on the Turin art scene earned him election as prior of the Accademia di San Luca in Turin (1726). In 1731 he painted the eleven canvases with Stories of Franciscan Saints in the sacristy of the church of St. Thomas in Turin, while in 1734 he made the Marriage at Cana for the sanctuary of Oropa. The Savoy commissions continued with the ten canvases executed for the castle of Agliè (1737), the decoration of the third room of the New Archives in the Royal Palace of Turin (1739-41), and the thirty or so works for the hunting lodge at Stupinigi (1748-51). The painter also measured himself in designing sets for the Teatro Regio in Turin (1745-46). He made his will on November 15, 1754, and died in his hometown on January 13, 1755. Olivero's genre scenes, such as the one commented on here, reveal a focus on Flemish painting, particularly by David Teniers the Younger, Peter Mauritz Bolckman, Theodor Helmbreker, and Cornelis de Wael, as well as Roman bamboozlers such as Pieter van Laer, Michelangelo Cerquozzi, and Jan Miel...Category
