Giovannino FOR SALE ANTIQUE DEALER Period: 17° secolo -1600 Ars Antiqua srl Milano Style: Alta epoca +39 02 29529057 393664680856 Height:32cm Width:26cm Material:Olio su tavola Price:3600€ DETAILED DESCRIPTION: Luigi Amidani (Parma, 1591 - 1629) Holy Family with Saint John Oil on wood, 32 x 26 cm The work in question depicts the Holy Family with the Virgin holding the baby Jesus while he is playing with Saint John handing him the Cross, while Saint Joseph remains aloof on the background of an elaborate woodland landscape. Of great intensity and humanity are the two children who play tenderly together, while the parents assist by paying attention to their little son. The panel shows Luigi Amidani (Parma, 1591 - 1629), a relative of the painter Giulio Cesare Amidani, in the hand of a painter active in the workshop of Bartolomeo Schedoni (Modena, 1578 - Parma, 1615) and very close to his ways in the realization of the Madonnas. , best known to eighteenth-century critics and confused with Luigi until the last century, when his figure as a painter became clear. Luigi continuously studies Schedoni's Madonnas (see the Coronation of the Virgin in the Private Collection), starting with his pupil with the artist in 1607. Together the two Emilians also work on the decoration of the nine chapels in the abbey of Fontevivo, of which only three paintings by Schedoni remain (San Pietro, San Paolo and San Sebastiano, Museo di Capodimonte) and a couple of Amidani still preserved in Naples. One of his trips to Rome, from which he acquired a more naturalistic vein, visible in the works of the following years, is probably to be placed in the second half of the years 1610-20. These are the years of maturity during which the artist develops his own characters, in addition to those already Schedonian such as drapery, for example the crouching pose of the Virgin, taken up also in the Madonna and Child of the Banca Popolare dell'Emilia-Romagna , or even the subtle rendering of the features, replicated in the Maddalena in a private collection. After Schedoni died in 1615, Amidani collects his legacy by continuing to license works that show the typical traits of the master, as in the Holy Family with Santa Elisabetta and San Giovannino (Pilotta, Parma), while moving towards other authors, such as Sisto Badalocchio, returned from Rome in 1617, as can 1 / 3 anticSwiss 02/10/2021 13:24:33 http://www.anticswiss.com be seen in the Amidani canvas with the Burial of Christ in a private collection, which proposes a classicist language following the example of the Carraccis. The drapery undergoes a simplification, characterized by a chiaroscuro without half tones and by sharp curvilinear traces, while the features crystallize into dreamy expressions, with the aim of giving life to a solemn tale. After his stay in Milan around 1620-1630, Amidani progressively distances himself from Schedoni's ways, while always maintaining the master's vocabulary in the Virgin and in the atmosphere of affectionate and domestic intimacy, accompanied by the accentuated volume of the swollen robes that embrace the bodies wrapping them and emphasizing their shapes. Therefore, see in comparison the paintings by Amidani preserved in the Pilotta complex in Parma: the Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth, Saint Agnes, the Madonna and Child between cherubs and saints, for the type of heart-shaped faces, from the chin thin and pronounced. https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/luigi-amidani-1591-1629--holy-family-with-s-giovannino-21859 2 / 3 anticSwiss 02/10/2021 13:24:33 http://www.anticswiss.com Gallery 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Per Una Bibliografia Illustrata Dei Ritratti Di Giambattista Marino
    ———————————— ACME – Annali della Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell’Università degli Studi di Milano LXIII – I – Gennaio-Aprile 2010 http://www.ledonline.it/acme PER UNA BIBLIOGRAFIA ILLUSTRATA DEI RITRATTI DI GIAMBATTISTA MARINO Effigiem ne posce animi, sat corporis esto: non illam parvo clausit Apollo libro. «Di me in Roma sono stati fatti mille ritratti, ma pochi, al mio parere, han- no colpito» (L 359): di questa lapidaria affermazione del Marino impressionano almeno due elementi: in primo luogo, un aspetto quantitativo, utile a immagi- nare il proliferare di questi ritratti; poi, un aspetto qualitativo, per cui, dietro alla capziosa attenzione del Marino per la diffusione e la ricezione della propria immagine, si cela la vanagloria dello scrittore immerso in una calibrata politica di autopromozione intellettuale e accademica. Questa dimensione, per dir così, strumentale della ritrattistica mariniana, non di rado sollevata sul piedistallo dell’autorità di artisti di grido, colloca il ritratto stesso in una posizione dominante nella formazione del fenomeno-Ma- rino, il quale, va ricordato, collocherà se stesso tra gli illustri del suo tempo pro- prio strumentalizzando l’autopoetabilità dei ritratti di sé nella Galeria. La rassegna che si presenterà nelle pagine seguenti seguirà dunque una scansione classificatoria basata sulla presenza letteraria dei ritratti riferiti: da quelli presenti nella Galeria e identificabili (1-3) a quelli versificati ma non iden- tificabili (4-7), dai ritratti non messi in versi dal Marino ma oggi noti (8-12), si- no a quelli assenti in trasposizioni poetiche e, per di più, ormai perduti (13-14). Il tutto tenendo conto che non pochi ritratti sono ancora al centro di dibattiti attributivi o almeno presentano ombre di paternità, su cui si daranno indicazio- ni e orientamenti.

AN INVESTIGATION INTO CARAVAGGISTI PAINTING TECHNIQUE AND TECHNOLOGY Mateusz JASIŃSKI* Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art, Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Wybrzeże Kościuszkowskie 37, 00–379 Warszawa, Poland Abstract The object of the analyses was the painting Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian from the Collection of National Musuem in Warsaw. Cecco del Caravaggio (active c. 1610 – mid-1620s), now known as Francesco Buoneri, is one of several artists who painted in the style of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Giulio Mancini in Considerazioni sulla Pittura, mentions a 'Francesco detto Cecco del Caravaggio' as one of the great master's more noteworthy followers. During analyzing the painting (the analytical light, IR, X- ray, UV, cross- sections, SEM-EDS, XRF, GC-MS, FTIR), it turned out that the artist made corrections to the composition, including the most important, changing theme of the painting. X-ray images show that under the figure of the saint there is an image of Christ at the column. Examinations show that the pigments used by the Cecco were typical 17th century earth-based pigments and similar to Caravaggio palette. A very interesting part about the palette of the Caravaggisti is the use of white: they used calcium carbonate or chalk as an extender to lead white. The research on Cecco del Caravaggio painting technique was conducted as part of an exploratory project: Technique and technology of caravaggisti paintings based on polish museum collections.

  • Bartolomeo Schedoni E Il Fascino Del Caravaggio
    Giulia Cocconi Episodi di realismo a Parma: Bartolomeo Schedoni e il fascino del Caravaggio Abstract Pittore di corte a Parma per Ranuccio I Farnese dal 1607, Bartolomeo Schedoni sperimenta in certe opere della maturità brani di innegabile realismo, giungendo al contempo ad operare una straordinaria trasformazione luministica che sembra presupporre uno studio profondo e consapevole dell'opera di Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Come avviene l'aggiornamento di Schedoni, dalla pittura improntata sino ad allora a capisaldi emiliani quali Correggio ed i Carracci, sulle novità della capitale pontificia? Questo studio si propone di ripercorrere i contatti tra la scena artistica parmense e quella romana nei primi decenni del XVII secolo per fare luce sui canali attraverso i quali il pittore modenese può aver conosciuto e studiato l'opera del Merisi. Bartolomeo Schedoni worked as a painter at Ranuccio I Farnese’s court in Parma from 1607. In some of his latter works, the use of realism is undisputable and the astonishing lightening transformation is likely to suggest a deep and knowledgeable study of Caravaggio’s work. How could have Schedoni’s painting, based on the Emilians Correggio and Carracci’s techniques, been affected by the artistic trends of the time in the Papal State? This study aims to retrace the links between the artistic scenes in Rome and Parma starting from the early XVII and to clarify the ways in which Schedoni may have been able to access and study Merisi’s works of art. A partire dal pionieristico saggio di Vittorio Moschini

  • Section: Santo Spirito Branch - Registers 806
    Section: Santo Spirito Branch - Registers 806 The personal administration registers of the Guadagni of Santo Spirito Branch have a numeric shelfmark which does not momentarily correspond to descriptive lists. The Nunziata Branch has a similar problem. The numeration is written in Indian ink on paper labels glued to the sides of the books of Donato Maria Guadagni (1641-1718), of his children and grandchildren , until Tommaso Guadagni (1743-1814), son of Donato (1719-1797). It is likely due to the intervention of the commission given by Tommaso’s son, Neri Guadagni (1790-1862) to the archivist who reorganized and described the patrimony papers of 1824, put the receipts in order, reorganized the registers of the farms and arranged the personal papers of Niccolo’ Guadagni (1730-1805), son of Ottavio (1684-1746), last of the Annunziata Branch, whose properties had added themselves to the ones belonging to Neri Guadagni son of Donato’s branch. The same considerations we made for the registers of the other branch of the family (see the introduction to the “Annunziata Branch – Registers). They have determined the choice, today (year 2007) to reclassify the books by “person”, type and finally chronological order. Series: Donato Maria Guadagni (1641-1718), son of Tommaso (1582- 1652) 807 Donato Maria Guadagni (1641-1718), founder of the Santo Spirito Branch, was married three times. In 1666, when he was twenty-five, he married his first wife, Maria Maddalena Corsini. Her father was Marchese Bartolomeo Corsini (1622-1685). [Donato Maria Guadagni is the direct ancestor of all of us, so all these relatives I am writing about are also our direct ancestors, unless they are priests or nuns, then they are our direct uncles or aunts].
