The sophisticated lightness of Venus, with her hair and decorative ribbons blowing in the wind, surrounded by flying birds attributed as doves, and the detached elegance of Diana, dressed in flowing drapery and escorted by three dogs in colourful furs, complement each other alongside the magnificent beauty ...

]]> Orazio Riminaldi (Pisa 1593 – 1630), David displays the severed head of the giant https://www.galleriagiamblanco.com/en/prodotto/orazio-riminaldi-pisa-1593-1630-david-displays-the-severed-head-of-the-giant/ Thu, 27 May 2021 16:21:03 +0000 https://www.galleriagiamblanco.com/?post_type=product&p=3422 This painting carries a certificate of free circulation. This archetype David depicted with the severed head of the giant Goliath is found in one of Caravaggio's latest works, the David with the head of Goliath of the Borghese Gallery. In both paintings, David is depicted in half-bust, which is illuminated by a light that falls directly onto his body, alongside contrasting shades of light/shadow that define it; but the Caravaggesque matrix of this painting will also be found in its multiple variations, produced by Manfredi, Simon Vouet and Nicolas Tournier. One would almost say that this David, ruthless on the battlefield, stands here to represent, in the early part of the 17th century, the 'quietism' of Torquato Accetto in the political field ...

]]> Luigi Garzi (Pistoia 1638 – Rome 1721), Alpheus and Arethusa https://www.galleriagiamblanco.com/en/prodotto/luigi-garzi-pistoia-1638-rome-1721-alpheus-and-arethusa/ Thu, 27 May 2021 16:16:13 +0000 https://www.galleriagiamblanco.com/?post_type=product&p=3418 Alpheus and Arethusa at the Giamblanco Gallery dates back to the first decade of the 18th century, when Garzi would have returned to Rome after his stay in Campania, and it constitutes one of his top pictorial productions, combining his Emilian and Marattesc classicist orientation with the influences of the work of Nicolas Poussin. The elegance of the chiastic arrangement of the figures is associated with an extremely refined chromatic palette, skilfully counterpointing between the red and blue that distinguish and differentiate the male and female components.

Provenance: private collection of the Baglioni family. In this vigorous painting, the Viennese artist portrays on canvas the myth of Diana and Orion, a myth with few figurative representations. The painter orchestrates the entire composition around the tragic moment in which the goddess, in a vain attempt to bring the beautiful Orion back to life, turns the fatal dart upon Aesculapius. The dark sky under which the scene comes alive contrasts the white body of the hunter, evoking the drama of a murder that mistakenly took place, because Diana had been deceived by her jealous brother Apollo. The painter hereby renews his love for this theme, having previously produced Diana next to the corpse of Orion, safeguarded by the Louvre Museum, as well as in the tondo inserted in the vault of the Bedroom of Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy, inside the Royal Palace of Turin.
