Giovanni Stanchi Art
Italian, 1608-1675
Giovanni Stanchi, known as Dei Fiori (Rome, about 1608 - 1675), was an Italian painter.
Author of still lifes, his flower paintings are remarkable. He is present in many art catalogs and antiques auctions. A painting of him (Garland of flowers and butterflies) is exhibited at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
We still know little about Giovanni Stanchi and about the rest of his prolific family of naturamortists, who worked in Rome for almost the entire seventeenth century, and even less do we know how their workshop and their collaborations were organized (very close at least since the fifth decade of the seventeenth century, not only in the largest and most demanding canvases), so much so that some scholars prefer not to venture into the distinction of individual hands.
In any case, it is likely that Giovanni, born several years before the brothers Niccolò and Angelo, is one of the artists who marked the transition from Caravaggesque naturalism to the more mature phase of Baroque decorativism. Indeed, it is possible that he - together with Michelangelo Cerquozzi, with whom he has many affinities - was trained in the workshop of Agostino Verrocchio, perhaps the most important in Rome in the third / fourth decade of the seventeenth century and the last custodian of naturalism at the beginning of the century, as he hypothesized the art historian Alberto Cottino.(Biography provided by Antichita Castelbarco)

Still Life with Squash, Gourds, Stoneware, and a Basket with Fruit and Cheese
Located in New York, NY
Provenance:
Selma Herringman, New York, ca. 1955-2013; thence by descent to:
Private Collection, New York, 2013-2020
This seventeenth century Spanish still-life of a laden table, known as a bodegón, stands out for its dramatic lighting and for the detailed description of each object. The artist’s confident use of chiaroscuro enables the sliced-open squash in the left foreground to appear as if emerging out of the darkness and projecting towards the viewer. The light source emanates from the upper left, illuminating the array, and its strength is made apparent by the reflections on the pitcher, pot, and the fruit in the basket. Visible brush strokes accentuate the vegetables’ rough surfaces and delicate interiors. Although the painter of this striking work remains unknown, it is a characteristic example of the pioneering Spanish still-lifes of the baroque period, which brought inanimate objects alive on canvas.
In our painting, the knife and the large yellow squash boldly protrude off the table. Balancing objects on the edge of a table was a clever way for still-life painters to emphasize the three-dimensionality of the objects depicted, as well a way to lend a sense of drama to an otherwise static image. The knife here teeters on the edge, appearing as if it might fall off the table and out of the painting at any moment. The shape and consistency of the squash at left is brilliantly conveyed through the light brush strokes that define the vegetable’s fleshy and feathery interior. The smaller gourds—gathered together in a pile—are shrouded partly in darkness and stand out for their rugged, bumpy exterior. The stoneware has a brassy glaze, and the earthy tones of the vessels are carefully modulated by their interaction with the light and shadow that falls across them. The artist has cleverly arranged the still-life in a V-shaped composition, with a triangular slice of cheese standing upright, serving as its pinnacle.
Independent still-lifes only became an important pictorial genre in the first years of the seventeenth century. In Italy, and particularly through the revolutionary works of Caravaggio, painted objects became carriers of meaning, and their depiction and arrangement the province of serious artistic scrutiny. Caravaggio famously asserted that it was equally difficult to paint a still-life as it was to paint figures, and the elevation of this new art form would have profound consequences to the present day. In Spain Juan Sanchez Cotan...
