About the Item

Giovanni Stanchi (Rome 1608 - 1675) or Niccolò Stanchi (Rome 1623 - 1690), workshop of GARLAND OF FLOWERS WITH PORTRAIT OF THE VIRGIN Rome, First half of the Seventeenth century oil on canvas, cm. 73 x 59 framed cm. 98 x 82 The examined painting is to be ascribed to the production of Giovanni Stanchi's atelier (Rome 1608 - 1675); The 'Stanchi' (the founder Giovanni, together with the brothers Niccolò and Angelo) constituted one of the most fervent still life workshops in Baroque Rome starting from 1630, sought after by the most important families of the aristocracy, from the Colonna, to the Chigi, to the Rospigliosi , and present since the end of the century in the Medici collections. Their production, extremely varied in type but coherently stylistic, can be subdivided according to the subjects proposed: first of all the garlands, of which the proposed canvas represents an example of quality, linked to the Flemish model made famous in Rome by Daniel Seghers, and probably largely related to Giovanni; The style of the work may well approach the works of Niccolò, active in Rome for almost the entire seventeenth century, younger brother and owner of the workshop after Giovanni's death. As for the portrait of the Virgin at the center of the garland, it must be said that, in this type of composition, the figures were often entrusted to a specialized painter, different from the painters of flowers. Carlo Maratta, for example, often collaborated with some important workshops, including Stanchi and Mario Nuzzi, completing their floral compositions with his religious subjects (see details). This is the case, by way of example, of the magnificent mirrors performed by Giovanni Stanchi in 1670 for the gallery of Palazzo Colonna in collaboration with Carlo Maratta (Garland of flowers with four cherubs; and Vase of flowers with five cherubs), in competition with Mario dei Fiori, author of the other two; as for Nicolò, the younger brother who owned the shop after Giovanni's death, the mirrors in the Borghese palace, executed in 1675 in collaboration with Ciro Ferri.

  • De Wit Flowers Still life Paint Oil on canvas 18th Century Flemish Cupids Art
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Jacob De Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754) attributable/ workshop Pair of Cupids with Garland of Flowers Oil on canvas 91 x 103 cm. - Framed 104 x 115 cm. Provenance: Christie's (London, Old master Painting 12.12.1996) lot 82 This magnificent composition depicts two cupids holding a garland of flowers, placed on a fine architecture with bas-reliefs and masks, presumably the top of a fountain. One of the two cupids sympathetically holds a part of it with his hands, while his head turns towards the viewer; the second cupid, on the other hand, must have clumsily broken the thread holding its end, and is sitting sullenly with a torch and a tear streaking his chubby cheek. The work, given its stylistic features and compositional taste, can be attributed to the Flemish artist Jacob de Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754), or to an artist from his workshop, with his typical triumphal and opulent style, which reveals clear influences from Rubens and Van Dijck, but also from Gerard de Lairesse...

  • Still-Life Flower Landscape Castelli Paint Oil on canvas Old master Italian art
    By Giovanni Paolo Castelli, known as Spadino (Rome, 1659 - 1730)
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Still life in a landscape with fruit and game Work of the late Roman Baroque of the late seventeenth / eaarly eighteenth century attributable to Giovanni Paolo Castelli, known as Spadino (Rome, 1659 - 1730) oil on canvas 62 x 76 cm., Framed 90 x 109 cm. An open-air setting, with a hilly landscape gash that opens into the distance in the central part, surrounds our beautiful canvas, which showcases a rich selection of game and fruit, arranged in the foreground near the point of view of the observer, occupying a large part of the visual field with their bright and festive colors. The style and quality of the work, like the pictorial technique of this still life, characterized by subtle luminous vibrations and a lively chroma, make it attributable to the Roman Giovanni Paolo Castelli, known as Lo Spadino (Rome, 1659 - 1730), one of the most important specialists of this pictorial genre of late Baroque Rome, which had a very successful career between the 17th and 18th centuries. Analyzing the rich and heterogeneous catalog of the Roman master, in fact, our canvas can be included among his rare works which, alongside a selection of fruit - among which stand out large melons, ripe figs, dark grapes and plums - we see a game advert, presumably as requested by a patron who loves hunting. Next to various birds, spoils of a profitable hunting trip, there is also a small green woodpecker, with the characteristic red spot on the head, and a nice rodent that terminates from behind the trunk. The painter abandons himself to a skilful and brilliant chromatic texture of the surfaces, through a pictorial material rendered with exceptional vibration in its luminous and 'tactile' body, fully respecting the taste of the full Roman Baroque. The quality appears excellent, distinguished by a skilful and brilliant chromatic texture of the surfaces, which appear almost vibrant thanks to a skilful drafting of the pictorial material. Inevitable and evident are the Flemish suggestions, which had influenced the Roman Baroque still life, in particular the work of Abraham Brueghel...
