NORTHERN ARTIST ACTIVE IN ROME IN THE LAST QUARTER OF THE XVII CENTURY
Still life with vase of flowers, fruits and architectural ruins
The painting is part of a pair: the twin can also be seen in the gallery, but they can be purchased individually.
Oil on canvas 120 x 150 cm (145 x 177 including frame)
The two large canvases presented here, depicting Still Life with Flowers, Fruits, Storied Vases, a Parrot and a Monkey and Still Life with Vase of Flowers, Fruits and Architectural Ruins, are typical examples of the great Baroque decoration that saw its heyday in Rome in the second half of the 17th century.
Magnificent Baroque splendor took its most striking forms in the great aristocratic palaces of the Colonna, Chigi, Borghese, Rospigliosi, and Pallavicini families, where the greatest exponents of figure, landscape, and genre painting active in Rome at that time worked.
This taste also gradually took hold among the minor patricians and the upper middle class of bankers and professionals, who made use of lesser-known artists from the workshops that were flourishing in the city.
As for still life depictions, the top representatives were initially specialists: Mario Nuzzi and Giovanni Stanchi for flowers, Michelangelo del Campidoglio for fruits, and Francesco Noletti for elegant compositions with carpets.
In the second half of the century artists moved in the direction of greater versatility, so that, for example, a painter of Apulian origin such as Carlo Manieri indifferently painted all three of the above subjects, often mixing them within the same compositions.
A fundamental contribution to the development of so-called Roman genre painting was that made by the large cadre of foreign artists active in the city: they included Flemish, Dutch, and German artists, united in guilds called Bent.
Flourishing was also the colony of the French, but these were painters of higher artistic lineage, figure specialists devoted to historical, mythological and religious scenes, sent to Italy under the protection of Louis XIV, who could count on attending the prestigious French Academy, founded in 1666 at the instigation of Jean-Baptiste Colbert and Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
The two large canvases presented here are works by a Nordic painter fascinated by Roman culture, so clearly evident in the perspective fugue display of two historiated vases in the painting with monkey and parrot, designed to be placed on the left, and two plinths in the other, designed to be the right-hand element of the pair.
The term Nordic is meant to refer generically to an artist of Flemish culture who may, however, have derived his origins in Germany as well, as shown by the formidable Roman examples of Christian Berentz and Franz Werner von Tamm.
However, the mixture of fruits, flowers, small animals such as monkeys and parrots, historiated vases, and relics of classicism offered outdoors with narrow landscape openings makes one think more of a painter who was familiar with the works of the Antwerp-born David de Coninck, who stayed in Rome from 1672 to 1694. This time frame is certainly the most credited for dating the two large still lifes presented here as well.

- Grazing HorseLocated in Como, ITRuggero Panerai (Firenze 1862-1923) Grazing horse Oil on canvas in gilded frame Canvas size 100x70 cm (116x86 cm with frame) Signed at the bottom left Last quarter 19th century Ruggero Panerai was born in Florence on 13 March 1862. He was employed as a carpenter until the age of fifteen and then studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, which he attended from 1877 to 1881. His teacher was Giovanni Fattori, who introduced him to the naturalistic painting of landscapes of the Tuscan Maremma and considered him among his most deserving students. Factors' teachings were decisive in orienting the young artist, who adopted the themes and the pictorial technique, updating them with the naturalism flowered in Tuscany through the example of Luigi and Francesco Gioli, Tommasi and Egisto Ferroni. In 1883 he exhibited at the Promotrice in Florence, his impressionism was inspired by the works of Guido Carocci. His painting is also affected by the bourgeois and worldly look of Giuseppe De Nittis and the manner of Vittorio Matteo Corcos who for some years lived in Paris but who returned to Livorno from time to time. Useful for a contact with the Parisian culture could also have been, for Panerai, the proximity with Francesco and Luigi Gioli, who in 1878 went to the French capital, where they had frequented Federico Zandomeneghi. Panerai was also attracted by the military theme. Military subjects are in fact among the most practiced and loved by the artist, who declines them in numerous variations, mostly devoid of pathos, but adhering to a quiet image. In 1887 his painting "Il Guado", presented in Venice, was chosen for the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome, but instead entered the "Pisani" Gallery. In the same year he exhibited in Genoa, Florence and Milan, where he won the Fumagalli Prize with "Il cavallo malato" (Florence, Galleria d'arte moderna of Palazzo Pitti), a painting in which his qualities as a sensitive animalist painter stand...Category

- Pittwater, Lucinda Park Study 2 (15.4.20) - Original Oil PaintingBy Sally WestLocated in Los Angeles, CAWhat makes Sally West’s original oil paintings so recognizable is the combination of texture, abstraction, and calming colors.

West's textural pieces take at least eight weeks to completely dry. Once dry the thick paint takes on an almost sculptural effect. Overall, West’s color palette is uniquely her own and it conveys a very specific feeling of comfort associated with familiarity and softness. This one-of-a-kind 12-inch high and 16-inch wide artwork is painted with thick, textural oil paint on canvas. It is wired and ready to hang. It is signed by the artist on the front lower right corner as well as the back. The sides of this artwork are painted and it is ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles area delivery.

West grew up on a farm and as a teenager moved to Eastern Sydney for school. Throughout her life, she has traveled through and lived in both Europe and South East Asia to gain inspiration for her artwork. Although her international journeys have influenced her style, the subjects of her paintings are very close to home. The subjects of all of her paintings exist in an infinite timeline inspired by her location in Eastern Australia. Since West’s first breakthrough solo exhibition in New York in 2011, her artworks have become highly sought after internationally. She has won and placed as a finalist in numerous worldwide art competitions and juried exhibitions throughout her career.
