					<description><![CDATA[The painting, a masterpiece of the artist's maturity, represents the biblical story, from the First Book of Samuel, whereby the young shepherd David, after killing the terrible Goliath with a simple sling, triumphantly enters Jerusalem carrying the giant’s severed head atop a sword. Castello sets up an extraordinary Baroque theatrical scene, based on the biblical text ("When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with tambourines and lutes. As they danced, they sang: "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands"), all built on the diagonal lines of the great chariot and the figures of the procession, which converge in the center directing the viewer's gaze ...

His sketch "Malia" is to be found at the Berlin Museum of Art; “La ridda”, at the Gofort Museum in Stuttgart; “The kiss of sun”, at the Goupil Gallery in Paris. The drawings made for the “Gil Blas” were collected in a room dedicated to the Pilgrims in the Glasgow Museum.

					<description><![CDATA[<strong>Painting subject to the Superintendency’s authorization.</strong>

"This magnificent painting is entirely and exclusively the work of Paolo Gerolamo Piola’s paint brush. It was quite a feat for him to stand out as a unique autography in a workshop like Casa Piola, where pictorial polyphony was to be found amongst multiple members of the same family. Son, nephew, brother, brother-in-law and uncle of artists, Paolo Gerolamo’s talent was to emerge in his early youth, as was his immersion in a unique style of painting. For this, he was clearly favoured by his father Domenico (1627-1703) and destined to succeed him in the management of the largest hotbed of ligurian arts between the 17th and 18th centuries. The undisputed, exclusive refinement of his role, strongly influenced the ligustic scene: his pictorial style is appreciated by contemporary artists and patrons who indulge in the grafting of Roman accents that were introduced through Carlo's workshop ".

					<description><![CDATA[“This beautiful unpublished painting, found in an excellent state of conservation, depicts St. George of Cappadocia on horseback sheathing his sword. The dragon lays on the ground dying, almost trampled by the white steed. A smiling angel is about to place a crown on the saint's head, while in the background, on the left, the painter depicts St. George’s martyrdom; according to hagiography, he was decapitated following a series of horrible torture and torments. In truth, these are all events lacking documentation; they were brought to life by Pope Gelasius in his apocryphal text Passio Sancti Georgii in 496 and have developed over time through folk retelling. What we don’t find in this painting, is the figure of the princess that was freed by the saint. "

					<description><![CDATA["The painting illustrates the encounter between a richly dressed young man on horseback and a beautiful peasant woman on a path in the Roman countryside. The anecdotal nature of this work is found in both the title chosen: "The Right Way" and in the broad gestures of the characters. The scene becomes eloquent by the meticulous facial expressions, that give insight into the respective personalities of the protagonists; in particular, the juxtaposition of the young man’s proud gaze versus the serenity and confidence perceived in the face of the young girl.

					<description><![CDATA[The painting is an unpublished work by Giovanni Battista Beinaschi. [...]. The darkness is typical of the artist, as is the dynamic impetus, the contrasting luminism, the long and flowing brushstroke, the diagonal stroke present in all his compositions, according to his characteristic interpretation of Lanfranchism in Baroque key [...]. Similarly, to Pierfrancesco Mola, Luca Giordano, Sebastiano Ricci or Paolo De Matteis, Beinaschi was also a wanderer and itinerant, who was able to absorb a wide range of influences during his travels around Italy, and during his lengthier stays in Rome and Naples where he made the frescoes of numerous churches.

					<description><![CDATA[This military scene, centred on the signing of a treaty either suspending hostilities or surrendering a besieged city, with artillery positioned in designated openings in buttresses, near mounds of artificial soil, watched over by soldiers and on which flags are hoisted, constitutes an interesting new addition to the already conspicuous Simonini Catalogue. In fact, it combines special features of a painter of battles with those of a landscape artist, the latter of which is what Simonini continued to cultivate in his later years, often as a background to military scenes; be they real battles, or movements of troops, military camp-sights or episodes related to military campaigns …

					<description><![CDATA[This large "Fruit still life with a young woman and two children" has long been acknowledged as work of Giovanni Paolo Castelli, known as "Lo Spadino”. He’s the most famous member of a family of artists who specialised in still life, and were active in Rome in the second half of the 17th century and in the first decades of the following century (Bocchi and Bocchi 2005, I, pp. 609, 616). As regards the human shapes, critics have in addition identified the hand of Antonio Mercurio Amorosi who collaborated with Castelli on several occasions. Amorosi was an extremely versatile painter, recorded as a copyist, restorer and artist of sacred altarpieces, but he owes his fame mainly to genre painting and portraits, especially those of children, characterised by extreme realism. There are more works by a joint collaboration between Antonio Amorosi and Lo Spadino, such as "Bacchus with a fruit basket" from a private collection auctioned at…

					<description><![CDATA[<strong>This canvas is currently kept at the Gallerie Accademia, Venezia.</strong>

Bernardo Strozzi (also known as "the Capuchin" or "the Genoese Priest" for his biographical events), a fundamental figure in Italian painting in the early 17th century, was born in Genoa in 1581 and did his apprenticeship in the workshop of the Tuscan mannerist Pietro Sorri. A Capuchin Friar, due to judicial problems with his order, he moved to Venice in 1633, where, as an established artist, he immediately obtained important commissions.

In 1636 Strozzi painted a large oval canvas to be placed on the ceiling above the main altar in the Venetian church Ospedale degli Incurabili, representing the "Parable of the wedding guest". The decorative project was completed several years later, alongside Padovanino's "Parable of the wise virgins and the foolish virgins" (completed in 1644) and the “Paradiso", begun by Sante Peranda in 1638 and completed after his death by Francesco Maffei. The iconographic reading of this composition obviously revolves around "Paradise", with the two parables alluding to the need for the soul to be ready to rise to heaven at the time of death. This large canvas, owned by the Giamblanco Gallery, is an extraordinary fragment of that composition.

					<description><![CDATA[<strong>This painting is subject to notification by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and ABAP Superintendency of Turin, with a declaration of cultural interest to protect the historical and artistic heritage.</strong>

A high-caliber Venetian figure, Angelo Maria Querini (1680-1755), who was elevated to the rank of cardinal in 1727, had sought out Balestra for the Roman altarpiece. This painting, belonging to the Giamblanco Gallery that is presented here, is linked to that prestigious commission. In fact, there are few differences with the final version: the compositional setting and the position of the main characters appear to be completely overlapping, except that Gregory the Great’s right hand will be lowered, ready to write on the heavy book that an angel laboriously holds up for him. In this small canvas, a companion of  Gregory the Great occupies the lower left corner, as if to guard over the three Crowns that the Father of the Church seems to have abandoned on earth; all intent is on grasping the concept of the dove of the Holy Spirit. The Child Jesus frees himself from his mother's grasp, in a spontaneous and somewhat disjointed pose, which will be further enhanced in the Roman altarpiece. The greatest variation is found at the top right, where an adolescent angel holds a drape, as an improvised canopy for the celestial apparition. This detail will be replaced by two smaller and playful winged infants in the larger edition.

A number of features allows this canvas too, to be attributed to the hand of Antonio Balestra: the drawing precision; the careful coating of matter, yet full-bodied; the sensitive direction of light, as revealed by the inlays of light and shadow that define the Child's body; the face of Saint Andrew, modelled in color notches; the surplice of St. Gregory, whose candour is virtuosically rendered with "soiled" colours; the beautiful creativeness of the angel at the top, who offers us his soft back in full light.]]></description>
