ROMANELLI GIOVANNI FRANCESCO (1610 - 1662) - Narcissus at the Fountain
Est: €25,000 - €30,000
ROMANELLI GIOVANNI FRANCESCO (1610 - 1662). Narcissus at the Fountain. The work is accompanied by a tex by Massimo Pulini. Comparative literature: M. Fagiolo dell’Arco, Pietro da Cortona e i cortoneschi: Gimignani, R., Baldi, il Borgognone, Ferri, Milano 2001; A. Lo Bianco, Pietro da Cortona e gli allievi: l’uso del disegno tra progetto e esecuzione, in Studi di storia dell’arte in onore di Denis Mahon, a cura di M.G. Bernardini S. Danesi Squarzina - C. Strinati, Milano 2000. The painting depicts the celebrated episode from Metamorphoses (III, 339–510), in which the young Narcissus, punished for rejecting the love of the nymph Echo, is condemned to fall in love with his own reflection. Romanelli captures the moment of astonishment: the protagonist, bending over the surface of the water, instinctively raises his left hand in a gesture of wonder, as though struck by the beauty of what he beholds — unaware that the vision is his own image. The presence of the two cupids behind him — one of whom points toward the scene — introduces a metanarrative dimension that guides the viewer’s interpretation of the episode, transforming the myth into a visual meditation on the illusory nature of desire and the deception of sight. In this sense, the composition reveals a conceptual sophistication perfectly in keeping with the expectations of an erudite patronage. From a stylistic point of view, the work coherently belongs to the artist’s early Roman maturity, at the height of the Barberini period. The figure of Narcissus, shaped through a soft modulation of light and an elegantly controlled torsion, translates the dynamism of Cortona into a more composed and refined form, while the putti evoke a figurative culture indebted both to Domenichino and to the Bolognese tradition. The scene unfolds through a carefully balanced interplay of movement and narrative clarity, a hallmark of Romanelli’s painting. Particularly significant is the treatment of the pictorial surface, characterized by a luminous, enamel-like finish that enhances the tactile quality of the flesh tones and chromatic transitions. In this work on copper, the support itself contributes to intensifying the meaning of the subject: the natural sheen of the metal amplifies the idea of reflection, creating a subtle parallel between the material of the painting and the theme of mirrored vision — almost as though the surface upon which Narcissus is painted becomes itself the pool in which he is lost. The open, atmospheric landscape provides a lyrical backdrop that softens the tragic tension of the myth, placing the scene within a dimension of melancholic suspension. The clear and precious palette, enriched with accents of pink, blue, and green, confirms that tendency toward a “crystalline” style of painting which represents one of the most original achievements of Romanelli’s artistic research during the 1630s, in the transition from a fully Roman Baroque idiom toward a more classically balanced language. The popularity of the subject is attested by a replica on copper, likewise sold on the art market — Sotheby’s, New York, 27 January 2023 — testifying to the appreciation of a sophisticated patronage, most likely connected to the Barberini milieu, where mythological “fable” painting enjoyed a privileged status. By virtue of its inventive acuity, technical mastery, and coherence of formal synthesis, the painting may be regarded as one of the most compelling expressions of Romanelli’s early activity: a moment in which the artist demonstrates full awareness in reconciling classicist tendencies with Baroque sensibility, achieving a personal balance that few works of this period attain with equal measure. . 43 x 32 cm.

Since the Renaissance, the representation of Sibyls in compositions similar to those of the contemporary portrait, as ladies richly attired in the fashion of the time. In fact, there are known examples of works in which important aristocrats are portrayed as sibyls, both in Italy and in other countries. In this painting from the Baroque period, it is worth noting the attention paid to the depiction of the sumptuous attire. The almond-shaped eyes convey melancholy. The flush of the cheeks harmonizes with the carmine of the beautifully outlined lips. In ancient Greek mythology, the Sibyl was a prophetess, sometimes inspired by Apollo and whose powers had a divine origin. However, the number of these women soon increased from three to twelve, in all cases without knowing their names, but knowing them only by the name of the place where they lived. It was the Renaissance who recovered this figure, considering them heralds of Christ in the pagan tradition in order to give value to it and "Christianize" it. Of all the works in which they appear, the best known is probably Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Vault, which shows the five most representative of the time (Eritrea, Persian, Libyan, Cuman and Delphic).

GIOVANNI FRANCESCO ROMANELLI - The Triumph of Flora (Birth of Spring and Eclipse of Winter)
Est: -
GIOVANNI FRANCESCO ROMANELLI Viterbo 1610 - 1662 The Triumph of Flora (Birth of Spring and Eclipse of Winter) Oil on canvas Size 134 x 99 cm Giovanni Francesco Romanelli soon moved to Rome where he joined the circle of artists closest to Pope Urban VIII and his nephew Cardinal Francesco Barberini, better known as the “cardinal padrone”. The first documentary references to his life place him as an apprentice in Domenichino’s workshop and in 1631 as Pietro da Cortona’s assistant in the decoration of the Palazzo Barberini. His well-established reputation as a painter enabled him to work on numerous Roman churches and residences. In 1644, with the death of Urban VIII, Romanelli moved to Paris with the help of Cardinal Barberini, who introduced him to the powerful Cardinal Mazarin to carry out the pictorial decoration of his lavish art gallery. Between 1654 and 1657, he painted the frescoes for the apartments of Queen Regent Anne of Austria in the Louvre Palace. The completion of this work could be dated to the artist's mature years, corresponding to his second stay in Paris, when he employed a vibrant and colorful palette. Curiously, a work depicting Boreas abducting Orithyia, with a very similar composition, is preserved in the Palazzo Spada in Rome. We would like to thank Silvia Bruno, an expert on Romanelli's work, for her help in cataloging this work.

Giovanni Francesco Romanelli

(Viterbo 1610–1662) Angelica and Medoro, oil on canvas, 121 x 172.5 cm, framed Provenance: Villa Stella Maris, Camogli; sale, Finarte, Milan, 18 October 1995, lot 381 (as Giovanni Francesco Romanelli, il Viterbese); where acquired by the present owner; Private European collection The present painting represents an episode from Ludovico Ariosto’s epic poem Orlando Furioso (canto XIX, verse 17–42) which was published in 1516. Gravely injured in battle, Medoro is aided by Angelica with whom Orlando, the hero of the chivalric poem, is in love. Initially Angelica tends to Medoro’s wounds in a spirit of pity, however, in time this turns to romance. The two young people live an idyllic period of love and later the two lovers are married and Angelica decides to return to the Orient with Medoro, at which point, unexpectedly, the anger of Orlando is unleashed. Romanelli’s painting, which is characterised by its refinement of composition and its rich pallette, immortalises the episode when the lovers carve their names on the trunk of a tree, watched over by Cupid and an attendant putto, suspended against the blue sky, bearing the symbols of love: the bow and a torch to inflame the heart with love. Following a brief period of training at Rome with Domenichino, Giovanni Francesco Romanelli was introduced into the studio of Pietro da Cortona with whom he collaborated on the fresco decoration of the Palazzo Barberini alle Quattro Fontane. This experience marked the beginning of the artist’s long association with the family of Urban VIII. With his first public commissions for the Vatican Basilica, as well as for works in the Vatican Palace, Romanelli began to significantly develop his own baroque language. Finding inspiration in works ranging from those of Raphael to those of Francesco Albani and Guido Reni, he formulated a simplified, functional almost neo-renaissance manner, with which he asserted himself within the more broadly diffused classicist fashion. He was elected Principe of the Accademia di San Luca at Rome, and he was called to the French court in 1648 and again in 1659. Here he decorated the Gallery of the palace of Cardinal Mazzarin (today the Bibliothèque Nationale de France) with subjects drawn from history and mythology. At the Louvre he painted four rooms of the Summer Apartment of the Queen Mother, Anna of Austria, deploying scenes drawn from myth, from biblical history and from Roman history.

Giovanni Francesco Romanelli (Viterbo, 1610 - Viterbo, 1662), Allegoria dell’Inverno
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
Allievo di Domenichino prima e Pietro da Cortona poi, il viterbese Francesco Romanelli è a Roma - stando alle fonti - a partire dal 1617; ma è dal 1631 che sono registrati i legami con la famiglia del papa Urbano VIII, i potenti Barberini, grandi committenti del Cortona. La fortuna del Romanelli è strettamente legata ad un suo affezionato e prestigioso committente, il cardinale Francesco Barberini; ma ciò che prova più di tutto il successo riscosso presso i suoi contemporanei, sono i due soggiorni in Francia (1646 - 47 e 1655 - 57) e le numerose commissioni ad essi legate, come quelle richieste dal Cardinale Mazarino e della regina madre Anna d’Austria. Lo stile del Romanelli non subì mai delle grosse evoluzioni, nel corso della sua carriera: legato tanto ai temi sacri quanto a quelli mitologici, in questa tela vediamo raffigurata un’Allegoria dell’Inverno, probabilmente della metà del XVII secolo. Un anziano - rappresentante l’“inverno della vita”, la fase finale dell’esistenza dell’uomo - col capo coperto da uno scuro mantello, si scalda le mani al calore di un tiepido braciere; la pennellata è sicura, attenta ai particolari del volto, delle mani e il panneggio è reso con la raffinata morbidezza tipica dell’artista.

After Giovanni Francesco Romanelli, Italian 1610-1662- The Cumean Sybil; oil on canvas, scrubbed signature (lower right), indistinctly inscribed and dated '1806' on the reverse, 104.5 x 77.2 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: An early 19th-century copy after the original painting by Romanelli, held in the collection of the Galleria Borghese, Rome. The Cumaean Sybil was a historical priestess of the oracle at Cumae, an Ancient Greek colony near Naples, largely known to Romans through her appearance in Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’. Serving as a popular subject amongst 16th-century Italian artists, including Raphael (1483-1520) and in Michelangelo’s (1475-1564) fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Romanelli’s treatment of the subject imparts her with a sense of learned authority, emphasised through the book in her hands, whilst her demeanour expresses a calm composure.

Attributed to GIOVANNI FRANCESCO ROMANELLI (Italy, 1610 - 1662) "Moses saved from the waters". Oil on canvas. Re-coloured. Retains labels on the back. It has repainting and restorations. It has a 17th century frame redecorated and repainted. Measurements: 149 x 200 cm; 171 x 222 cm (frame). The dynamism and intensity of this baroque image has been conceived with a composition that exalts the dramatism of the biblical scene. The author depicts the moment when Moses is found and rescued from the waters (Exodus 2: 1-10). The Pharaoh's daughter, on going to bathe, notices the presence of the basket with the child and, taking pity on him, decides to take charge of the child and look for a matron to feed him. The scene is composed with the presence of the Pharaoh's daughter, who stands wearing a richly jewelled headdress. The young woman is accompanied by two maidens, one of whom holds the baby's cot, and the other who holds the young woman's arm to prevent her from falling into the water. Surely one of these young women is Miriam, since, in the biblical account, it is she who, after Moses is rescued, comes to ensure the child's salvation and offers her mother's services as a wet nurse. Due to its formal and compositional characteristics, this work is related to the style of Giovanni Francesco Romanelli. This subject had already been painted by the artist, as can be seen in the work in the collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art. It was painted by Romanelli in 1656. The Finding of Moses was executed during Romanelli's second stay in Paris (1655-1656), when he was decorating the apartments of the Queen Mother, Anne of Austria, in the Louvre. The simplified composition and clearly delineated forms suggest that this jewel-toned canvas also functioned as a decorative element, unlike the work presented here. Romanelli had assisted Pietro da Cortona on his ambitious ceiling fresco The Triumph of Divine Providence in the Palazzo Barberini. Like his master, he enjoyed the patronage of Cardinal Francesco Barberini and his uncle, Pope Urban VIII. The Barberini's exile to France in 1646 led Romanelli to follow his patrons to Paris. Giovanni Francesco Romanelli was a painter from Viterbo who developed his career during the second third of the 17th century. He trained in Rome with Pietro da Cortona, which brought him into the orbit of the Baberini. He remained close to the family of Pope Urban VIII throughout his life, especially to Cardinal Francesco, who hosted him in the Chancellery Palace as early as 1632. His work immediately earned him an enormous public fortune, and before the age of thirty he received the most important commissions in the Eternal City, including a large canvas for St Peter's Basilica. Due to the great fame and success that accompanied him throughout his life, he had a large number of followers, painters who were able to learn from the master the advances and fundamental values of his painting. In the 1640s Romanelli's style evolved towards greater classicism in a new compositional balance influenced by the contemporary triumph of forms increasingly typical of the classicising Baroque, the dominant trend in Rome at the time.

Allegory of Winter
Est: €6,000 - €8,000
First a pupil of Domenichino and then of Pietro da Cortona, the Viterbese Francesco Romanelli was in Rome - according to the sources - from 1617 onwards. However, from 1631, his connection with Pope Urban VIII’s family, the powerful Barberini, Cortona’s great patrons, is recorded. Romanelli’s fortune is closely linked to his affectionate and prestigious patron, Cardinal Francesco Barberini. But the most important proof of his success among his contemporaries is his two stays in France (1646-47 and 1655-57) and the numerous commissions linked to them, such as those requested by Cardinal Mazarin and Queen Mother Anne of Austria. Romanelli’s style never underwent any significant changes during his career: linked to both sacred and mythological themes, this canvas depicts an Allegory of Winter, probably from the middle of the XVII century. An old man - representing the 'winter of life', the final phase of man’s existence - with his head covered by a dark cloak, warms his hands in the warmth of a brazier. The brushwork is firm, attentive to the details of the face and hands, and the drapery is rendered with the refined softness typical of the artist.

(Viterbo, 1612? - 1662) Davide Olio su tela, cm 62X48 La personalità di Giovanni Francesco Romanelli è stata rivalutata grazie alle pionieristiche ricerche di Italo Faldi pubblicate nel 1970 e in modo particolare dagli studi di Maurizio Fagiolo dell'Arco raccolti in un volume edito nel 2001. L'esordio dell'artista avviene a Roma nell'ambito di Pietro da Cortona, che gli consente di entrare in diretto contatto con la committenza Barberini, in modo particolare con il Cardinale Francesco, suo mecenate ed estimatore. Sarà sempre il favore barberiniano ad offrirgli l'opportunità di ornare con le Storie delle Metamorfosi di Ovidio le volte della Galleria parigina del Mazzarino. La sua trasferta francese segnerà la diffusione del barocco romano in Europa e la sua evoluzione verso un linguaggio 'alessandrino', elegante e stilizzato. In questo arco di tempo, attorno al quinto decennio, il Romanelli reinventerà anche il quadro allegorico a mezze figure, spesso dedicato a soggetti raffaellescamente graziosi, come ben documenta la tela in esame.

(Viterbo 1612? - 1662) Allegoria dell'Innocenza Olio su tela, cm 68X50 Il prototipo del dipinto, già in collezione Sacchetti, si custodisce ai Musei Capitolini (olio su tela, cm 63X49, inv. PC 234). Il soggetto, negli inventari antichi (1688) era descritto come Una donna con turbante bianco in testa, et un piccione in mano e solo nel 1817 con la catalogazione del Tofanelli l'opera viene intitolata: L'innocenza con colomba. L'esordio dell'artista avviene a Roma nell'ambito di Pietro da Cortona, che gli consente d'entrare in diretto contatto con la committenza Barberini, in modo particolare con il Cardinale Francesco, suo mecenate ed estimatore e sarà sempre il favore barberiniano a offrirgli l'opportunità d'ornare con Storie delle Metamorfosi di Ovidio le volte della Galleria parigina del Mazzarino.
