17th Century Grisaille of a Dutch Pastoral Scene

17th Century Grisaille of a Dutch Pastoral Scene

We present you this extremely antique grey pastel artwork that captures a tranquil pastoral scene depicting two shepherds guiding their livestock beneath the grand arch of an imposing Roman bridge. The back of the painting reveals an inscription indicating the work of a Dutch artist dating back to 1665. While there are a few small cracks on the cardboard, the artwork seems to be its original frame which has been reinforced with adhesive on the back. The overall dimensions, including the frame, are 67 x 55 cm.

Sybille with turban and fruit bowl, Oil on canvas, 19th century

Sybille with turban and fruit bowl, Oil on canvas, 19th century

This sensual painting depicts a silk-turbaned Sybille carrying a bowl of fruit (peaches and grapes) and richly dressed in a light white linen chemise, a luxurious fuchsia-pink tunic and a royal-blue cape. She is adorned with gold jewels and precious stones.In a way, its fair to say that this richness contrasts with her ingenuous, gentle gaze: her radiant youth is as unsettling as her frontal, piercing gaze. Her graceful, serene face contributes to the paintings peaceful aspect.This painting is attributed to an artist who admired the Dominiquin and the Guerchin. Indeed, the two Italian painters produced numerous versions of these women, whose silk turbans adorned with gold and precious stones were a reminder of their oriental origins, and who were destined to prophesy the coming of Christ. We can also see a fantasy portrait of a woman in which the painter demonstrates his mastery of chiaroscuro, with contrasts softened by his knowledge of Venetian painting.Painting without frame:Width 90 cm x height 102 cm

Large still life painting, Italian School, oil on canvas, 18th century

Large still life painting, Italian School, oil on canvas, 18th century

This monumental architectural painting depicts a stone fountain topped by a large bronze basin, from which an impressive floral arrangement unfurls. The ground is strewn with grapes, peaches and a pumpkin, symbolizing fertility and abundance.In the background, a décor of ancient ruins unfolds, with classical architectural elements lending an enigmatic atmosphere to this work.Finally, in the last shot, a wooded landscape with cypress trees reminiscent of Tuscany and a mountain in the distance. Above this luxuriant scene, a blue sky dotted with clouds ranging from grey to golden unfolds and illuminates the entire scene.Stylistically, this painting is in line with certain Italian still lifes of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. It probably comes from the workshop of an Italian master who understood the appeal of Dutch and Flemish works such as those by the artist Gaspar Pieter Verbruggen Le Jeune (1664-1730). One of these masters was Orsola Maddalena Caccia (1596-1676), considered a pioneer of still-life painting in Italy.In its pictorial style and choice of subject, the painting is also reminiscent of the works of Neapolitan painter Gasparo Lopez dei Fiori, who distinguished himself by his often redundant compositions of flowers, most often placed outdoors, in elaborate contexts rich in naturalistic and architectural elements.This majestic painting comes from the private collection of a renowned family, and was displayed in one of the familys villas in Cannes on the Côte dAzur in France.The painting is presented in a 19th-century gilded wooden frame, a fitting piece to adorn large walls: a classic, elegant setting that we never tire of admiring.Dimensions of unframed canvas :Height : 123 cmWidth : 187 cm
