About the Item

Felice Cignani (Bologna 1658 - Forlì 1724) The Miracle of Saint Francis of Paola Oil on canvas 165 x 111 cm In frame 182 x 129 cm Work accompanied by an appraisal by Prof. Emilio Negro The painting (oil on canvas, 166 x 114 cm) is well preserved and depicts Saint Francis of Paola miraculously healing a young girl brought before him by her parents, with her mother holding her sleeping little brother in her lap. Originally from the Calabrian city from which he takes his name and who lived between the 15th and 16th centuries, Francis was a member of the Franciscan order, venerated for his healing powers, whose motto was “Caritas”, which we find here in the inscription visible on the altarpiece at the end of the staff. He was an important religious figure whose fame spread beyond the borders of Italy to France: on the orders of Pope Sixtus IV, he travelled to France to the bedside of King Louis XI, and although he was unable to heal the ailing sovereign, he helped him to repent, to make amends for many abuses, and to settle outstanding issues with the Holy See. From a stylistic point of view, as noted by Professor Emilio Negro in his study, we are in the presence of an interesting work by an artist active in Emilia between the 17th and 18th centuries, in whose style it is easy to recognise the influence of Carlo Cignani's pictorial corpus, and therefore to identify an artist in his workshop, in this case revealing a reinterpretation of the pictorial texts of Guercino and Annibale Carracci. In view of these elements, it is likely that the work is by Felice Cignani (Bologna, 1658 - Forli, 1724), a painter of noble birth, as well as the son and pupil of Carlo. He became a highly regarded master in his own right, one of the last followers of his father's glorious workshop, where, as is well known, even the most demanding tasks were entrusted to the best disciples due to the numerous commissions. This gave the students the opportunity to collaborate to the best of their ability, learning the secrets of the profession directly from the head of the workshop. The detail of the two figures in the background is beautiful, a mother with her child in her lap, which cannot fail to evoke the beautiful Madonnas with Child so dear to the Cignani workshop. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The painting is sold complete with an attractive frame and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of purchased works, both in Italy and abroad, using professional and insured carriers. If you would like to see this or other works in person, we would be delighted to welcome you to our new gallery in Riva del Garda, at Viale Giuseppe Canella 18. We look forward to seeing you!

Madonna Maria Sassoferrato Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Italian

Located in Riva del Garda, IT

Madonna with Sleeping Child Follower of Giovan Battista Salvi known as 'il Sassoferrato' (1609 - 1685) Roman painter 18th century Oil on canvas Measurements: canvas 64 x 50 cm, in frame 76 x 62 cm. This delicate depiction of the Madonna in adoration of the Child exhibits all the human dimension and sweetness of the maternal atmosphere: Mary clasps the sleeping child to her in a tender embrace, which touches her cheek, enveloped and protected by the mantle and even a flap of the mother's veil. The pictorial style and composition recall the ambit of Giovan Battista Salvi, the Sassoferrato, who distinguished himself expressly for this subject, with the Virgin immortalised in a humble and strongly earthly pose, depicted with simple white, red and blue colours and delicate plays of nuances on the faces and hands. This iconographic prototype was so successful that it became the painting for countless works destined for devotion during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly appreciated for private commissions due to its marked gentleness and formal perfection, particularly of the faces. Born in Marchigiano, Salvi developed his activity in Rome, following the dictates of the classicist sacred painting of the Bolognese school of Reni, Carracci and Domenichino, but succeeding in having an autonomous and therefore clearly distinguishable style.  In very good overall condition, there are some small scattered restorations and some unravelling of the painted surface. Framed in a beautiful gilded frame. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity and descriptive iconographic card. We take care of and organise the transport of the purchased works, both for Italy and abroad, through professional and insured carriers. It is also possible to see the painting in the gallery in Riva del Garda...
