Roman master, possibly CIRO FERRI (Rome, 1634 - 1689); second half of the 17th century. "Santa Lucia." Oil on canvas.
Est: €12,000 - €14,000
Roman master, possibly CIRO FERRI (Rome, 1634 - 1689); second half of the 17th century. "Santa Lucia." Oil on canvas. Measurements: 123 x 97 cm; 148 x 113 cm (frame). The scene represented responds to a devotional iconography that acquired great popularity at the time. The devotional painting is starred by a female figure of idealized beauty, a martyr saint, holding in her hand a palm while a putto or child angel offers her a tray with eyes, an attribute that refers almost unequivocally to Santa Lucia, patron saint of sight. This identification places the work within the Baroque hagiographic tradition, in which narrative clarity and emotional appeal to the viewer were essential elements for post-Tridentine devotion. From the formal point of view, the composition reveals traits characteristic of the Roman school of the Seicento. The main figure is organized by means of a gently shifting pyramidal structure, generating a dynamic balance that avoids classical rigidity without falling into excessive movement. The treatment of the draperies, with wide folds and hallmarks of color, the intense red of the cloak against the deep blue of the tunic, refers to the Roman school, directly to the legacy of Cortona, although the work is more similar to Ferri's painting, as it shows a certain greater heaviness in the fall of the fabrics and less light vibration. The lighting, directed and theatrical, highlights the faces and hands, reinforcing the expressive dimension of the scene. The pictorial quality is remarkable, especially in the delicacy of the flesh tones and in the psychological interaction between the saint and the angel, whose gestures and glances build an intimate dialogue that humanizes the sacred episode. This emphasis on tenderness and emotional restraint, as opposed to the more exalted dramatism of previous generations, can be interpreted as an internal evolution of the Roman Baroque towards more introspective forms in the second half of the 17th century. The work also reflects the formative process of Ferri, who, after his apprenticeship with Cortona, studied classical statuary and the masters of the Renaissance, integrating in his style a synthesis between classical idealization and baroque sensibility. Born in the parish of Santa Maria in Trastevere and trained from an early age in the workshop of Pietro da Cortona, Ferri became the most faithful disciple and direct continuator of the Cortonese language, inheriting both his dynamic conception of composition and his taste for theatricality and chromatic richness, although tinged by a softer sensibility and a tendency towards formal density.

After Ciro Ferri, Italian 1633-1689- Joseph turning away
Est: £1,000 - £1,500
After Ciro Ferri, Italian 1633-1689- Joseph turning away from Potiphar's wife; oil on canvas, 193.3 x 273 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work is an early copy after Ferri's original painting in the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Ontario [16-031]. The note describes how, 'A traditional subject of the Weibermacht series, the story of Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39:6-20) warns against female lust. Joseph is brought into Potiphar’s household as a servant and is the object of several attempted seductions by the master’s wife. She endeavours once more, leading to his flight and the abandonment of his cloak. The wife then uses the garment to substantiate accusations of Joseph’s sexual advances to her husband, who imprisons Joseph. Ciro Ferri accentuates the wife’s desire through her exposed flesh, the sumptuous appointment of her bedroom, and her frantic grasp.'

Ciro Ferri, The death of Cleopatra
Est: €20,000 - €30,000
Certificate Dr. Francesca Baldassari, Florence, 08.01.2013 After the defeat of her lover Marcus Antonius in the naval Battle of Actium in 31 BC, Cleopatra resolved to take her own life by the bite of a poisonous snake. According to legend, the serpent was hidden in a basket of fruit handed to her by a maid, after the queen had learned that Octavian intended to capture her and parade her in a triumph in Rome. By committing suicide, she escaped the humiliation of witnessing Egypt’s transformation into a Roman province. Francesca Baldassari, who was the first to attribute the painting to Ciro Ferri, notes that the facial features of the figures, the sumptuous garments, and the vivid coloring reveal a strong influence of Pietro da Cortona. She dates the work to around 1670, when Grand Duke Ferdinando II de’ Medici summoned Ferri to Florence to complete the frescoes in the Palazzo Pitti after Cortona’s death.

Ciro Ferri (1634 - 1689)
Est: €4,000 - €6,000
The Roman painter Ciro Ferri was the most important pupil of Pietro da Cortona (1596-1669), a major master of Roman Baroque painting. In a kind of courtyard with a wooden staircase and damaged paving, a man lies alone on a straw mat, his pale skin colour and facial expression indicating that he is seriously ill. With the last of his strength, he holds a sheet of paper and a quill pen in his hands. A pilgrim's staff, a rosary and a small bowl for drinking lie beside him. An angel in a golden robe and blue cloak glides down on a cloud and brings the pilgrim a wreath of flowers. Heavenly, golden light appears in the clouds behind him. On the left edge of the picture, next to a pillar of the building, we can see out into a landscape. This could be St Roch, who, when he fell ill with the plague, withdrew and was comforted by an angel. A dog brought him daily bread. Oil on canvas , 73.5 x 97 cm

Ferri, Ciro (1633-1689). Hl. Maria Magdalena empfängt den Schleier. Zeichnung. Tuschfeder in Sepia, graulaviert, am Unterrand zeitgenössisch bezeichnet. 33,3:21,5 cm. Provenienz: Vorbildersammlung der Tiroler Glasmalerei-Anstalt, Innsbruck, Sammlungsstempel. – Der diagonal nach rechts angelegten Zeichnung sind eine Engelsglorie beigestellt sowie zwei Engel weiter im Vordergrund, bemerkenswert deren auffallend individuellen Züge, die den Figuren eine Identität außerhalb der ikonographischen Einheit verleihen – die mehr in den Vordergrund gerückten beiden Figuren dem geläufigen Engelporträt beinahe schon entwachsen. Es ist naheliegend, die Zeichnung mit Ferris Entwürfen für den Hochalter von S. Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi, Florenz, in Verbindung zu bringen (vgl. Thieme/B.) Der im Augsburger Verlag von Martin Engelbrecht erschienene seitenverkehrte Kupferstich (Österreichische Nationalbibliothek) folgt der Vorlage nach Vermögen, reduziert aber die Puttenglorie mit weiteren Vereinfachungen im Detail.

An etching by Cornelis Bloemaert (1603-1692) derived from Ferri's composition was printed in 1678, copies of which are in the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Chief pupil and assistant of the painter and architect Pietro da Cortona (1596/7-1669) in Rome, Ferri completed the internal decorations at the Pitti Palace in Florence that Cortona had begun. Among his own work, one of the most impressive is the vast frescoes in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Bergamo. Another of his major paintings - St Ambrose healing an invalid - was the main altarpiece in the Church of Sant'Ambrosio della Massima, Rome.

Maria holds her child in a white cloth and tenderly supports her son's back and right leg. Full of tenderness, she bowed her head over the child and gives him her protection and love. This intimacy is derived from the Byzantine image type of Eleusis, the "virgin of tenderness" (virgin of tenderness), but completely reinterpreted and conceived in terms of genre.

MOSES VERTEIDIGT DIE TÖCHTER DES JETRO GEGEN FREMDE HIRTEN Öl auf Leinwand. 116,5 x 164,5 cm. Die Bibelgeschichte (Ex 2,16) berichtet, wie der junge Moses während seines Aufenthaltes bei Jetro, dem Priester von Midian, fremde Hirten vom Brunnen vertrieb, um die Töchter Jetros zu schützen, und deren Tiere tränkte. In der Folge gab Jetro Moses die älteste seiner sieben Töchter, Zippora, zur Frau. Dieses Bildthema ist auch noch in einer weiteren Version von Ciro Ferri bekannt, das sich Museum of Fine Arts in Houston/ Texas befindet. Die Bildauffassung, mit dem Brunnen in der Bildmitte und den seitlichen Figuren in beiden Bildern, ist weitgehend identisch, ebenso die Position der Gestalt des mit dem Stock agierenden jungen Moses rechts neben dem Brunnen. Allerdings zeigt sich hier bereits eine Änderung in der Bildgestaltung, nämlich in der unterschiedlichen Körperhaltung des Moses. Auch zeigt das Bild in Houston im Hintergrund bergige Landschaft, während in unserem Bild am Horizont ein Meeresufer zu sehen ist. Völlig unterschiedlich jedoch ist die Komposition der Figuren. Man muss annehmen, dass die Verwendung des wertvollen Lapislazuli-Blau bei Darstellung der Frauen nur der in der Bibel genannten Zippora, der Frau Moses´, zugedacht war. So kann in beiden Bildern nur die weibliche Gestalt im Vordergrund links gemeint sein. Hier im Bild hält sie einen Wasserkrug, in der Houston-Fassung wird das Blau im Kleid noch mehr hervorgehoben, und Zippora weist mit dem Fingen auf ihren Helden. Neben weiteren Unterschieden, wie etwa, dass im Hintergrund des vorliegenden Bildes die Stadt des Jetro gezeigt wird, ist jedoch beiden Gemälden der frühe Stil Ferris gemeinsam, nämlich beeinflusst von seinem Lehrer Pietro da Cortona (1596-1669). Im Palazzo Pitti in Florenz vollendete Ferri die Fresken seines Lehrers, bevor er wieder nach Rom zurückzog, wo er sich fernerhin als Architekt betätigte. A.R. Literatur: Vgl.

Est: €40,000 - €60,000
MOSES VERTEIDIGT DIE TÖCHTER VON JETHRO Öl auf Leinwand. Doubliert. 126 x 174 cm. In teilvergoldetem Rahmen. In der hier gezeigten biblischen Darstellung begegnet Moses den Töchtern des Jethro, des Priesters von Midian, an einem steinernen Brunnen mit ihrer Herde. Er trägt ein leuchtend gelbes Gewand, hält mit beiden Händen einen großen Stock und mit entschlossenem Gesichtsausdruck will er mit voller Kraft drei Hirten verjagen, die ihrerseits zuvor die Frauen vom Brunnen vertrieben hatten. Zwei der Hirten sind bereits zu Boden gegangen, von denen einer abwehrend die Arme erhoben hat, während im Hintergrund in Rückenansicht ein Hirte die Flucht ergriffen hat. Erschrocken über den energischen Einsatz des Moses stehen die Frauen um den Brunnen. Eine am Boden in blauem Gewand sitzende Frau weist mit großem Armgestus auf das Geschehen hin. Im linken Hintergrund ein Baum mit einem großen Ast, von dem ein Flaschenzug in das Brunneninnere führt. In der hinteren Bildmitte eine bergige Landschaft mit einem größeren Gebäude und zwei Frauen, die ihre Tiere tränken. Qualitätvolle Malerei in frischen, leuchtenden Farben. Von Ciro Ferri gibt es mehrere Gemälde und eine Zeichnung zu dem gezeigten Thema; die Komposition stimmt überein, jedoch variiert die Zahl der Frauen am Brunnen und der Hirten. Neu bei dem vorliegenden Werk ist die Einfügung eines Flaschenzuges am Brunnen. Teils Retuschen, Holzrahmen teils mit altem Wurmstich. Anmerkung 1: Nach der Vertreibung tränkte Moses die Tiere der Töchter. Eine der Töchter, von insgesamt sieben, wurde später die Frau des Moses. Anmerkung 2: Ferri war Schüler von Pietro da Cortona und vollendete nach dem Weggang seines Meisters aus Florenz dessen Fresken im Palazzo Pitti. (1301551) (18) Ciro Ferri 1634 Rome – 1689 ibid., attributed MOSES DEFENDS THE DAUGHTERS OF JETHRO Oil on canvas. Relined. 126 x 174 cm. High-quality painting in fresh bright colouration. Ferri created several paintings and a drawing of this subject – the composition is consistent, but the number of women at the well and the shepherds varies. A new element in the present work is the addition of a pulley at the well. The movement of the figures and the colouration of the clothes could suggest a collaboration with Berrettini.

CIRO FERRI (attr. a)
Est: €3,000 - €5,000
(Roma, 1634 - 1689) La Vergine, il Bambino e Santa Martina Olio su tela, cm 85X65 Il corpo di Santa Martina fu rinvenuto nella chiesa romana dedicata ai santi Luca e Martina nel 1634 e Pietro da Cortona era da poco stato eletto principe dell'Accademia di San Luca. Il pittore realizzò innumerevoli versioni della tela in esame, se ne contano a oggi otto, autografe o realizzate con l'aiuto della bottega. Nel nostro caso, la Santa è posta a sinistra della Vergine in analogia con la tavola conservata alla Pinacoteca di Perugia ed è raffigurata con una veste elegante, la palma del martirio e in atto di ricevere un mazzolino di fiori da Gesù. Dal punto di vista stilistico il dipinto è da ascrivere a un collaboratore del Cortona, cosa affatto inusuale sapendo che la sua bottega assunse un ruolo preponderante nel corso degli ultimi due decenni di attività del maestro, che si riservò in misura crescente la semplice fase progettuale, ed eventualmente un primo abbozzo delle opere commissionate, affidando in gran parte agli allievi la realizzazione delle sue invenzioni (cfr. G. B. Fidanza, A rediscovered altarpiece by Pietro da Cortona and insights into the collaboration between the master and his pupils, in The Burlington Magazine, CLV, 2013, 1325, pp. 541 - 545). Sappiamo altresì che l'inventario redatto nel 1669 alla morte del Berrettini registrava una serie di opere non finite e affidate al lavoro degli allievi, in particolare Ciro Ferri, Lazzaro Baldi e Lorenzo Berrettini. Nel nostro caso, è possibile avanzare per le evidenze stilistiche un'attribuzione a Ciro Ferri (Roma, 1634 - 1689), artista che Lione Pascoli giudica il migliore allievo e collaboratore del Cortona, l'unico legittimato a terminare le opere lasciate imperfette da lui.
