About the Item
Joseph Ruoppolo (c. 1630 - 1710)
Still life with copper crockery, cuttlefish and oysters
Oil on canvas, 102 x 152 cm
Frame 122 x 172 cm
The absolute authorship of the present painting, also unsigned, to Giuseppe Ruoppolo, is to be found in the pendant, indeed initialed and now lost. The two canvases were kept until the 1970s within the collection of antiquarian Algranti, then divided through different market events. Both illustrate an ubertous shelf of spectacularly arranged branches, illuminated by elastic rays that swell the bodies of the specimens.
Of Ruoppolo's refined predilection for copper victuals he left written record Bernardo De Dominici, a valuable biographer, testifying that the artist "also painted in imitation of his Uncle Gio. Battista cose di Rame" (Vite de' pittori, scultori, ed architetti napoletani, III, Naples 1743, p. 299). The reference to Ruoppolo's uncle turns out to be fundamental documentary foothold in the reconstruction of Joseph's artistic story. In fact, it is known from the sources only that he died in 1710 at the age of eighty, from which data it is inferred that he was born in 1630, and that the monogram "GRU," by which the monogrammist of the same name was once usually recognized, is actually to refer to Giuseppe himself, who in the painting Interior of a Kitchen with Branches and Provisions (formerly in Naples in the Dalla Vecchia collection), had placed such a signature. The artist conducted his apprenticeship with his uncle of almost the same age (1629-1693), the principal exponent of Neapolitan Baroque naturamorphism, himself a pupil of Paolo Porpora and a contemporary of Salvator Rosa. Unlike his uncle, however, Giuseppe produced works akin to early 17th-century naturamorphism, paying homage to the beginnings of Neapolitan production. The influence of Luca Forte, who had been part of Aniello Falcone's workshop, and whose natures were initially imprinted with a revivalist Caravaggism, remained decisive in the artist.
Ruoppolo's production of still lifes ranged from gargantuan assemblages of first fruits to minute handfuls of the most immediate of the earth, such as zucchini, tomatoes and flowers. A Nature with a Vase of Flowers, now in a private collection, is signed "Giuseppe Rop" on the vase; but there is no shortage of more extensive signatures, for example in a second Still Life with Melons and Apricots in a private collection, in which the artist's name appears on a beveled stone in the right corner of the painting.
The present renews the composedly crowded compositions equal to the Fruit and Flower Vase in a Landscape from the Museum of Nevers, signed, as well as the Grapes, Peaches, Melon, Figs, Plums and Flowers from the Museum of Nantes, also signed. Oysters and seafood had already appeared in Still Life with Red Crab at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, very close to Elena Recco's manner.

- 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
