Italian Baroque School - Allegory of Religion
Est: €400 - €600
Pen and brown ink with grey wash drawing depicting a robed female figure, barefoot and standing in contrapposto, her gaze lifted toward a radiant triangle containing the Hebrew Tetragram, symbolizing the divine name of God. In her raised right hand she swings a smoking censer, the rising incense signifying prayer ascending to the heavens, while her left hand rests near her chest in a gesture of devotion ---- The drawing can be placed in the Roman Baroque period and shows similarity with the work of Giovanni Battista Gaulli (1639-1709). I added an image of a 1695 dated signed drawing by his hand. The similar handling of drapery, the head of the woman, and the same strong chiaroscuro wash look quite similar. A fine work in good condition.

Est: €8,000 - €9,000
Circle of GIOVANNI BATTISTA GAULLI (Genoa, 1639-Rome, ca. 1709). "Pope Clement IX." Oil on canvas. It has bands of tension on the sides. It conserves frame of the XIX century with faults. Measurements: 62 x 51 cm; 84 x 74 cm (frame). Stylistically this work follows the models of the portrait of Pope Clement IX, which is in the collection of the Palazzo Bianco in Genoa and was painted by Giovanni Battista Gaulli. Pope Clement IX, born Giulio Rospigliosi, was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from June 20, 166, until his death in December 1669. Giulio Rospigliosi was born into a noble family in 1600 and studied at the Roman Seminary and at the University of Pisa. He held various positions in the Church, including titular archbishop of Tarsus and apostolic nuncio in Spain. As a man of letters, he wrote poetry, dramas and librettos, and was patron of the artist Nicolas Poussin. Appointed cardinal by Pope Alexander VII, Rospigliosi was elected Pope Clement IX in 1667. His pontificate was marked by mediation in the European wars, and his popularity in Rome was due to his charity, humility and refusal to promote his family's wealth. Clement IX was a patron of the arts, commissioned works by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and inaugurated Rome's first public opera house. He attempted to strengthen Venetian defenses against the Turks in Crete, but failed to gain wider support. In 1669, after learning that the Venetian fortress of Candia surrendered to the Turks, Clement IX fell ill and died. Giovanni Battista Gaulli , also known as Baciccio, was an Italian artist of the High Baroque and early Rococo periods. He is best known for his grandiose illusionistic frescoes of the vault of the church of the Gesù in Rome Biography. Gaulli was born in Genoa, where his parents died from the plague of 1654. He was apprenticed to Luciano Borzone. In the mid-17th century, Gaulli's Genoa was a cosmopolitan Italian artistic center open to commercial and artistic enterprises from northern European countries, including countries with non-Catholic populations such as England and the Dutch provinces. Painters such as Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck stayed in Genoa for some years. Gaulli's early influences would come from an eclectic mix of these foreign painters and other local artists such as Valerio Castello, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione and Bernardo Strozzi, whose warm palette Gaulli adopted. In the 1660s he experimented with the cooler palette and linear style of Bolognese classicism. He was first noticed by the Genoese art dealer Pellegrino Peri, who lived in Rome. Peri introduced him to Gianlorenzo Bernini, who promoted him. In 1662 he was admitted to the Accademia di San Luca (Academy of St. Luke), a Roman artists' guild, where he would later hold various positions. The following year he received his first public commission, an altarpiece for the church of San Rocco in Rome. He received numerous private commissions for mythological and religious works. However, beginning in 1669, after a visit to Parma, the dome-ceiling frescoed by Correggio in the cathedral of Parma, Gaulli's painting took on a more painterly (less linear) aspect, and the composition, organized di sotto in su ("from below looking up"), would influence his later masterpieces. In his heyday, Gaulli was one of Rome's most esteemed portraitists. Gaulli is not known for any medium other than painting, although numerous drawings in many media have survived. It has tension bands on the sides.

GAULLI GIOVAN BATTISTA (1639-1709) 'L'Apostolo Giovanni' e 'Nicodemo' coppia di olii cm. 54 5x64 7 autentica di Gilberto Zabert Torino 5 Dicembre 1982 La formazione artistica del Gaulli si colloca nell'ambito della pittura genovese indipendentemente dal suo alunnato presso il ritrattista genovese Luciano Borzone. Egli copia gli affreschi di Perin del Vaga nel palazzo Doria e Genova ma è attento contemporaneamente alle opere del Rubens e del Van Dick (da lui conosciuti attraverso il fiammingo Cornelis De Wael) di cui coglie soprattutto la libertà nell'uso del colore. Da questi contatti Gaulli dovette trarne una impressione indelebile tale da condizionare il suo gusto nel successivo periodo romano e da ricavarne soluzioni formali non solo in alcune opere giovanili ma ancora in opere della maturità :giunto a Roma nel 1657 godette della protezione del Bernini che sembra averlo direttamente ispirato per le sue grandi composizioni decorative e ben presto divenne ritrattista ufficiale della potente famiglia Chigi.

Provenance: with Hill-Stone, USA. Private Collection. Note: We are grateful to Dr Francesco Petrucci for confirming the attribution of the present lot. Characteristic of Gaulli's preparatory drawings in its emphasis on the outlines of the figures, these allegorical subjects perhaps refer to continents or nations of the world. They recall the pair of sculptures at the base of the vaulted ceiling of the Church of the Gesù in Rome, for which Gaulli provided the drawing (F. Petrucci, 'Baciccio, Giovanni Battista Gaulli 1639-1709', Rome, 2009, pp.243-247).

Giovan Battista Gaulli detto il Baciccio o il Baciccia (Genova 1639 - Roma 1709) bottega Ritratto di nobildonna Olio su tela 74 x 60 cm Si forma a Genova, sotto l’influenza Rubens e Anton van Dyck, e con gli insegnamenti di Luciano Borzone. E’ a Roma fin dal 1657 ed entra nell’atelier di Gian Lorenzo Bernini, di cui è uno dei più dotati collaboratori. Grazie al Bernini lavora copiosamente a Roma: la Chiesa del Gesù (1674 - 1679), affrescandone la volta, il presbiterio e la cappella di Sant'Ignazio (che proprio in quegli anni veniva rifatta da Andrea Pozzo e ornata di statue da Pierre Legros, a Sant'Andrea al Quirinale e a San Francesco a Ripa, a Basilica dei Santi Apostoli e Basilica di San Pietro. In queste importanti opere egli è in grado di riscrivere pittoricamente l’esuberanza creativa del Bernini. Altresì all’esuberanza dei grandi cicli decorativi berniniani nella pittura da cavalletto egli mostra di apprezzare e condividere l’ascendenza classica del barocco, rinverdendo la lezione di Pietro da Cortona. Gaulli fu anche ritrattista di ottima qualità, fra i suoi effigiati ci sono papi, cardinali e personalità della nobiltà romana del tempo. La nostra opera trova riscontro comparativo col ritratto di Eleonora Boncompagni Borghese della collezione Lampronti.

Est: €1,500 - €2,500
(Genova, 1639 - Roma, 1709) Riposo dalla fuga in Egitto Olio su tela, cm 134X98 Non possediamo molte notizie sulla formazione e gli anni genovesi del Baciccio, se non per un rapporto con il più versatile e fantasioso Giovanni Battista Castiglione. Fu probabilmente il Grechetto nel 1657 a persuadere il giovane a trasferirsi a Roma, dove grazie all'impiego con il mercante d'arte Pellegrino Peri incontrì Gian Lorenzo Bernini, che lo prese sotto la sua protezione. Infatti, all'inizio degli anni '60 Gaulli viene accolto dagli Accademici di San Luca dove assunse ruoli di crescente rilievo fino alla nomina di Principe nel 1673. Ma già nel 1661 l'artista ottiene la commissione della pala raffigurante la Madonna e i santi Rocco e Antonio per la Chiesa di San Rocco e nel 1666 ; 1671 la decorazione della cupola di Sant'Agnese in Agone su richiesta della famiglia Pamphili. Nell'anno successivo realizzerà la Gloria di Santa Marta per il soffitto della omonima chiesa al Collegio Romano e il committente, il genovese Giovanni Paolo Oliva allora padre generale dei gesuiti, gli affiderà l'anno dopo la decorazione della chiesa del Gesù. La tela in esame bene risponde ai confronti con le opere dell'artista, in modo particolare con la Sacra Famiglia con San Giovannino e Santa Elisabetta di collezione privata (cfr. Petrucci, pp. 539 - 540, n. C17), che databile intorno al 1695 propone una composizione affine per quanto riguarda il fondale paesistico e le figure di San Giuseppe e della Vergine. Per quanto riguarda quest'ultima, invece, l'iconografia con il Bimbo in piedi che bacia la madre si riscontra nella tela appartenente alla Galleria de Robilant-Voena, riconducibile alla tarda maturità del pittore, presumibilmente alla fine degli anni Novanta (cfr. Petrucci, pp. 612 - 613, n. D. 62). Bibliografia di riferimento: F. Petrucci, Baciccio. Giovanni Battista Gaulli (1639Â¬1709), Roma 2009, ad vocem
