PLAYING WITH CATS. ALEXANDER RIZZONI (1836 - 1902) RUSSIA - ITALY, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY
PLAYING WITH CATS. ALEXANDER RIZZONI (1836 - 1902) RUSSIA - ITALY, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY
An intimate genre composition defined by a subtle interplay of light and shadow, characteristic of Alexander Rizzoni’s artistic circle. Within the dim interior of what appears to be a vegetable cellar, a young boy is depicted playing with several cats. Concealing a bundle of turnips behind his back, he teases a cat perched upon a worn barrel. A narrow shaft of light penetrates through a small window, illuminating the child’s gesture and animated expression, while the warm ochre and brown tonalities enhance the atmosphere of humble domesticity.Despite its apparent simplicity, the scene carries a nuanced layer of social observation consistent with Russian Realism of the second half of the nineteenth century. The artist avoids overt dramatization, instead focusing on the quiet dignity of childhood. The modest amusements of impoverished youth become a reflection on resilience and innate vitality. Compassion and contemplative distance coexist within the composition, revealing the dual influence of the Russian academic tradition and Italian genre painting.Signed lower right.The work is attributed to Alexander Rizzoni (Alessandro Rizzoni, 1836 - 1902) on the basis of stylistic analysis, compositional structure, and painterly execution consistent with his genre works of the 1870s and 1880s.Dimensions: 41 x 33 cmMaterial: Oil on canvasCondition: Good.

THE FEODOROVSKAYA MOTHER OF GOD ICON IN A GILT SILVER MOUNT WITH ENAMELS. WORKSHOP OF VASILY SEMYONOV RUSSIA, MOSCOW, 1890
THE FEODOROVSKAYA MOTHER OF GOD ICON IN A GILT SILVER MOUNT WITH ENAMELS. WORKSHOP OF VASILY SEMYONOV RUSSIA, MOSCOW, 1890
A solemn analogion icon of the Feodorovskaya Mother of God, created in Moscow in 1890. The image belongs to the most venerated Marian shrines traditionally associated with the protection of the family and dynastic continuity. The Virgin is depicted with the Christ Child in the iconographic type known as “Eleusa,” where the gentle touching of their faces emphasizes intimacy and prayerful contemplation. The faces are executed in a warm ochre-brown palette with subtle modeling of light and shadow characteristic of Moscow icon painting of the late nineteenth century.The icon is encased in a gilt silver mount executed at the factory of Vasily Semyonov in Moscow. The mount represents a highly refined example of Moscow silversmithing of the late nineteenth century. The repoussé work on silver forms a sculptural pattern of the folds of the maphorion and chiton, creating a striking interplay of light across the metal surface. The crowns, borders, and corner elements are decorated with polychrome enamels featuring delicate vegetal and geometric ornamentation, rendered in the characteristic decorative manner of the Moscow school.Marks: Maker’s mark “VS” in Cyrillic for Vasily Semyonov; Moscow silver hallmarks of 84 standard; Assay mark with the initials “L.O” beneath a dividing line and the date “1890” for Olex Lev Fyodorovich, assay master of Moscow; State assay mark with the coat of arms of the city of Moscow.Dimensions: 31 x 27 centimeters.Material: Wood, tempera painting; gilt silver, enamel.Condition: Good.Provenance: Private collection.
