Giulio Di Sotto
CHERUBIM PLAYING - Italian School - Figurative Oil on Canvas Painting

2004

About the Item

Cherubim playing - Giulio Di Sotto Italia 2004 - Oil on canvas cm. 50 x 100 Gold dilded wooden frame available on request. The proposed painting represents two putti playing .. Clear contrast of chiaroscuro, with the two cherubs that stand out against the dark background, a pictorial expedient that reinforces the three-dimensionality and emphasizes the volume of the bodies, illuminated by a beam of intense light. In this painting we note the pictorial influence that Caravaggio had in the art of Giulio Di Sotto. In fact, his particular pictorial style and his figurative repertoire testify evident affinities with our beautiful canvas. In particular, it could be inserted in the vast production that the painter dedicates to the theme of the cherub of his career.

  • 18th century allegorical painting of The Triumph of Beauty
    Located in London, GB
    Exhibited: London, Royal Academy, 1800, no. 93 What was happening in British history painting in around 1800? In recent discussions of the emergence of a British School of history painting following the foundation of the Royal Academy in 1768, this is a question which is rarely posed and one which is not easily answered. Examination of surviving Royal Academy exhibition catalogues reveals a profusion of artists’ names and titles, few of which remain immediately recognizable, whilst endeavours to explain the impact of exhibition culture on painting - such as the 2001 Courtauld show Art on the Line - have tended to focus on the first and second generation of Royal Academician, rather than young or aspiring artists in the early nineteenth century. This makes the discovery and identification of the work under discussion of exceptional importance in making sense of currents in English painting around 1800. Executed by Edward Dayes...
